Throughout the week I'll exercise about 5-6 days, but mostly 5 doing boxing workouts. But once or twice a week I'll go running and I'll go 5 miles. I always stopped because I figured it was just a good point to stop at and I was never really stopping because I was tired, I was just so bored and it was already kinda far.
Yesterday I started running and I felt super tired and I thought it would be a light day b/c I had some wine the night before and slept like **** and i cranked out 13.1 miles.
a half ****ing marathon out of the blue.
naturally i wasn't videotaping it b/c i wasn't planning on going that far but when I was done I had to record a video of myself saying it b/c I was blown away.
boom

A few things here. Making a jump from 5 miles to 13.1 is huge. Let's hope your knees can take it. You would normally work up to that distance. If you were training for a marathon, 20 would be your target. I ran 2 marathons, my second time was 03:43 and I finished strong. Most of my training was at 5-7 miles, then I would ramp up before the race to 20.
What made me do the longer runs was training for the marathon, and beating my best time. At the end of each run I was usually sprinting, and I'd have runner's high when I stopped.
Try to train on grass or the beach to give your knees a break. In my 30s mine gave out. The meniscus tears and you'll need to have them scoped. I remember going for a simple 5 mile run and my knees hurt. Now I don't run, but ride a bike, roller skate around a park, and swim laps in a pool when it warms up. It really sucks that the meniscus doesn't regenerate, it wears out, tears like a finger nail, and then your knees will hurt.

I went nuts and made fried chicken and waffles. I didn't video tape it 'cuz I was planning on grilling the chicken.
Made a syrup mixed with Jack Honey. It turned out so cinnamony sweet that the wife gave me a blow job right there in the kitchen while making waffles. Not even my b-day!!!

Since the weather here finally got about 60 degrees, went riding all weekend. Put so many miles on my Ultra Limited that my forearms hurt. So nice to be able to not spend 15 minutes gearing up for the cold. Light Jacket and Vest and I'm good to go.

When I was in the military I hated the 3-mile physical fitness test run. You were running for the best time possible because it directly reflected in your promotability. So you burned yourself out quick, at the end of the 3 miles you were exhausted.
Otherwise, I'd found that the longer you run the easier it gets. I'd read somewhere that you should run at a pace that would allow you to still hold a conversation with a running partner without being too uncomfortable. You start out slow... and before you know it your body is naturally getting acclimated to the exertion and the pace gradually increases without realizing that it is happening. By the end of a ten-mile run, my buddy and I were running 6-minute miles, where our pace was probably 10-minute miles when we began.

Thats pretty dam sweet.
Personally i would slow it down and take more rest days. Think about long term.
Keep up 5-6 days a week will lead to injury and burn out, even if u are superman imo.
Rest days is when you heal and grow.
