hi ive been at a gym for a couple of years now and nearly all my work in there is on the treadmill, i find it much less boring than using exercise bike, weights etc.
I had a serious accident (was knocked down by a car) about 3 months ago and couldn't go to the gym for around 2 months as my knees felt very weak and i couldn't run at all.
Thankfully Ive made a full recovery and I've decided to get into running a lot more. Below is my distances I've covered in last 3 weeks and number of runs i've been on. All have been in the gym apart from one run around the park with a mate. I just want to know what level am I at at the mo? Beginner?, average?
Also, am I doing too little or too much? Am I training too often or too little? Is just using a treadmill proper running? (I find it more convenient using treadmill you see, I've no desire to enter running competitions, just want to improve for my own satisfaction) I'm aged 27 if that helps too.
Cheers

WEEK 1:
18 kilometres in total (3 Runs)
WEEK 2:
37 kilometres in total (6 Runs * spread over 5 days)
WEEK 3:
24 kilometres in total (4 Runs)
Oh for got to say some of it I go back to walking, then start running again. Eg start with 10mins runnin, then walk for 3 mins then back running etc. When walking its 6.5K per hour, my running goes up and down between 10.5k and 14k per hour, the average is about 12k per I think.
