Prior to my injury, I was running anywhere from 80-120 min per day, averaging about 10-11 hours per week.
I'm wondering how much you guys run, on average, per day and per week, and what's normal for a runner who is dedicated but not elite to spend on running. Please share what you're typically training for as well, when you're running these distances.
I always think of my running as an hour a day and two on Sunday and it's pretty close to that most weeks. A lot of my weekday runs are an hour (sometimes on the treadmill) but workout days are usually a little more. On race weeks it varies.

That's about what I do when not racing. 60-65 miles. When racing, I stay around 35 miles/week.
During marathon training I average 80 miles a week or so - call that 10 hours. Travel once a week to get some hills in - make it 11 hours. Workout days take a little longer. Maybe 11.5 hours.
If you add in PT and icing, could be 15 hours at the height of training.
5k training is more like 8-9 hours a week.
5hrs/week, but I'm only a sub-14:30 guy. I'm sure sub-13:30 guys are double that.
Aren't we all?
Unfortunately, not enough....:(
