probably 10k or half marathon on the road.

But I love cross country's too (especially if you have to run through rivers and stuff!)

 

[Dan_R]

5k, 5 mile, 10k road races.

I also enjoy a cross country when the course is challenging, XC is not much fun when your just running round a field three times

 

[Gumps]

Any XC of any length. Road racing often seems like time chasing to me. I'll do it sometimes but I need variety.

I've not done it for years but the only track race of value is the 'chase

 

[Trinity]

Don't like XC at all, although I've done a 52 mile ultra mostly off road and really enjoyed that.

I like ultras coz you don't have to run so fast, marathons coz they're a challenge, half marathons coz they are relatively easy now, and 10k's coz they're short and the pain is over with quite quickly.

I quite like "half marathon" - there's tactics galore in it for me (I'm only racing me) and it's nowhere near as killer as the full distance...

Also quite enjoyed the sprint tri I did - there was always plenty happening!

 

[debbo]

Half marathons for me. 10ks are too speedy and marathons are too long.
I'm quite partial to tris, but have only done sprints so far.

 

[chrisity]

give me a decent cross country any time. the more mud the better. i used to dislike anything less than 10 miles but age and injuries have made me appreciate shorter races.

 

[Rene]

Haven't done much racing but I do like the half marathon distance (just entered two more in March). Did a 10k recently but found it a little short and kind of stressful.

 

[Fulmar]

Between 5K and 10K on the road, Steeplechase for track racing and under 15K cross-country and hill-races.

 

[sweave]

Don't mind what the distance is so long as theres mud :d hills mud:d water:d and mud.

 

[Boab]

10 mile road races for me.

 

[pedestrian]

10 miles/half marathon on the roads.
10 track.

 

[richardsimkiss]

Hmmmmmm... I tend to do 10k's and 1/2 marathons, love xc, but no idea what i'm best at! lol.

 

[Grant]

I really like 10k's.

I've only done two half marathon's and quite enjoyed them too, but the 10k is definately my fave.

 

[mike84]

Only done the 10k.

Cross country is cool, but I remember thinking to myself "why am I doing this" on the 2nd lap.

 

[Fulmar]

I have to add the Marathon to my list

 

[Fulmar]

Only done the 10k.

Cross country is cool, but I remember thinking to myself "why am I doing this" on the 2nd lap.

hahaha :d After my first 6 half-marathons I finished telling myslef - "I'll never run this again!" - I have run more than 15 now :d

 

[richardsimkiss]

Just to add to the question... Does your favourite distance necessarily relate to your best distance? And do people have any sort of a system to work out what distances they are best at?

 

[LEECE]

anything over 3 miles as thats when i am warmed up
