Defining “a runner” as someone who ran two times per week for at least 75% of weeks of the year, they get:
- Japanese runners run the furthest. 41.5 km per week, nearly a marathon equivalent!
- UK runners average 31.1 km
- UK non-runners average 7.2 km
- South African runners average the longest record run, at 42.5 km
- UK runners average 30.7 km
- UK non-running Garmin users do 15.3 km
- Global average run pace is 5:39
- UK does 5:50, according to the article. Though it also says the UK does better than the global average, so something may be wrong with their reporting
- Ireland: 5:24
UK runners have an average of both 31.1km and 30.7km?? Which one is the correct one then?
Each of those bullet points should be read in the context of the bullet point above. 31.1 km is the average weekly distance by UK runners. 30.7 km is the average longest run by UK runners.
I see, that is not clear from the formatting (or wording for that matter)
