What is your favourite distance? (aussie.zone)

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.

Probably the 10k. It's a nice round number and also the first distance I ran in a race (except for races as a kid). I think it's also the distance that suits me the best.
