You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: <><><><><> Subject: RE: Break Down Your Miles Body: I run about 90 miles/week and probably do about 30% on paved surfaces, 30% on dirt trails and back alleys, 35% on grass and 5% on the track. These numbers are for good weather months. In the Winter, most of my mileage is on paved surfaces and, even if it isn't, the ground is usually frozen and lumpy, so even worse than running on concrete. In the Winter, I might also occasionally hit the treadmill for a tempo workout if the roads and weather are crap. I do all my running in flats or lightweight trainers and have had fewer injury problems since I made the switch. When I first started running competitively, I got several tibial stress fractures and began avoiding paved surfaces like the plague. Then, when I started doing 90% of my running on soft but uneven surfaces, I started having chronic achilles problems. Lately, I've been trying to mix up the surfaces as much as possible and have stayed reasonably healthy for the past 6 months, knock on wood.
