Ever done a run IN your house?

Yes

dude my house is tiny, so no.

I've had the runs in my house. Does that count?

I've ran in place during a 30 tv shows on a couple occasion. During commercials I'd sit down.

From one end to the other end of house is probably 100ft. After getting off the treadmill and doing fast repeats, I would jog from one end to the other. No shame in doing so...

Yes, stairs. Ran 100 reps up/down. 14 steps to top. Someone do the math for me...is that a mile?

Yes, well sort of, I cut a run sort of short because it was cold and if you know me, I LOATHE winter. I decided one more mile, but I'd already kicked my shoes off. I ran or well more of jogged through the living room, into the kitchen, around the den, through the hall over and over. The loop takes like 10 seconds or so. Did that for 10 minutes. At the end I was a bit dizzy. I don't reccommend it unless you live in a mansion, palace, or the like.

I was trying to do the stupid at least a mile everyday. It was the day after an ice storm so I did a mile in my 500 sq ft apartment. Good thing I was poor and had hardly any furniture.

I think it was 2000 NCAA Cross Country Championships in Ames, Iowa. Frigid windchill, about 17 degrees with 30-40mph sustained winds. The Stanford team started doing their pre-race shakeout in the hotel hallway. Vin Lananna flipped out and sent them outside.

Personally, I've put in 5 miles in the Brussels airport and 8 miles at O'Hare. Also, the middle distance runners would do entire workouts in the halls of my high school in early spring when it was cold/icy. But in my house, no.

When I was a kid, I measured the distance around two hallways and the living room and realized that 128 laps of this circle was a mile. I did this a few times. Parents can have a tremendous amount of patience at times.

I do it probably once a week during the winter. I run around my living room for 35-40 minutes while watching TV. I don't have much furniture and it's pretty much all against the wall. It's just as good as a 5 mile run and doesn't require bundling up to go outside or sweating like crazy on the treadmill.

once in hs on a rainy day I did an hour of stair climbs in my house - up down up down up down.

thought I was being real clever until my mom came home and pointed out that I had crushed the carpet pretty badly.

She was not pleased, although I can imagine my parents laughing in private afterwards.

Yes.

When I was a kid there did not seem to be any such thing as 'running' as people understand it today. By that I mean I literally NEVER once saw anybody running on the roads, trails, sidewalks just for the sake of running/training.

So when I wanted to get in shape (at maybe 12 years old) I ran laps around my pool table in the basement. Must have been something like 200 laps per mile and I'd go for up to 20 minutes (maybe 2 miles).

I have 700 sq feet. Moving to an 1,350 sq feet apartment in the northernmost reaches of Harlem soon with a roof deck, so maybe I'll get an opportunity.

I think I have some of this beat; I once jogged (can't claim it was running) for a half hour in an overseas hotel room. And yes, I was about to yack my lunch after a u-turn every seven seconds or so. Wouldn't recommend this idea.

didn't zatopek do runs in the winter in his bathtub, maybe even stepping on clothes to wash them at the same time(???).

Yep, sort of, if running in place counts.

Was stuck inside*, in Sweden, so I put some pillows on the 500 year old wooden floor, and ran in place for 30 minutes.

*My Swedish girlfriend sometimes went wiggy and played control freak head games, and wouldn't give me the keys so I could go out and get back in the outside door and then the front door.

After she went to sleep I did my run.

(I was on a goal to not miss a day of running for ten years).

For some reason the next morning she asked me if I got my run in.

I said "yes," and told her about using the couch pillows and running in place.

Then she said she was "proud of me" for not letting her defeat me goal.

I'm sure this sort of scenario is unusual and no one else has dated an unreasonable woman etc. (She had some other games, which is why I dumped her eventually.)

Yes my daddy is building an 8k indoor cross country course in the "guest house." Does that count? Maybe not. But I can always do HIIT intervals in the 50 car garage. That part of main unit. Elevator service to my bedroom. ;-)

Yes, I lived in upstate NY and it was freezing rain for two days, way too dangerous to run outside on the roads. My Brother and I went into the basement of our apartment house with a measuring tape and measured around the perimeter of the basement. It came out to be 25 laps for a mile. So we proceeded to do a five mile run, it was pretty crazy and the next day our knees were pretty sore. We never tried it again.
