It doesn’t have to be the most practical or common distance. Just whichever one you enjoy the most in the moment. For example I currently run 5 km a lot at the moment due to lower levels of strength in my calves and the practicality of it (5 km doesn’t take much time out of the day), but I definitely enjoy 10 - 12 km runs a lot more and would like to build up to them again. They give me more time to enjoy the sensation of endurance running and I like the harder mental challenge of maintaining a consistent pace over a longer period.

    7-10k seems to be my sweetspot at the moment. I can manage all my run-types in less than 60min. makes it a lot easier to fit in my daily routine => less planning and stress to fit things in => increased enjoyment
