AboutRick Karboviak, CSCS Expertise First things first: I WILL NOT ASK QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO AN INJURY OR SORE AREA ON YOUR BODY, please seek medical advice from a doctor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or chiropractor.
I can answer questions specifically for mile to 5K distances, preferably in regards to HS and recreational runners, since I coach JH/HS age athletes, and train recreationally-based runners (those who simply run for the enjoyment of it, not super-competitive).
I am also an expert in doing training with the assistance of a GPS speed & distance monitor, in tracking speeds, paces, and distances for measurements in intensity & volume of your workouts precisely.

Question hi
i'm a 5'11" tall and weigh 65k. i need to know that for how much time/distance should i jog daily to gain a bit more weight and maintain it. what should be the rigt time to jog (morning or evening)for this purpose.
Answer It would be foolish of me to just give you a number (distance, time) to aim for, by just knowing height & weight alone. I don't have any idea of your current fitness levels or past experience. There is no way for me to even guess this. As a general rule, start out easy, such as at a level 5 to 6 on an effort scale of 1-10, with 10 being an all-out effort rating. See how long in time you can continue that pace, and aim for getting to a total time at first. Don't worry about distances at this point. Get your body used to the durations, not the distance. If you find out you can't last too long, then try walking & jogging, alternating the two. Let's say you can only jog for 6 minutes total on your first time out. For your next workout, try walking for 3 minutes, and jogging for 2 minutes. Then, after your jog, return to walking for 3, jogging for 2. This way your body is still active while its recovering from the jog. You could try and repeat that cycle for 3-4 times total, depending on how you feel.
