My neighborhood has a one mile circle in both directions. The most I can do is 2 miles but even some of that will end up on O'Dell as I loop around. When I go out to do a seven mile run it's not possible unless I want to run around and around my neighborhood which would be tedious to say the least. Not to mention I run five days a week.
Most runs are out and back. If I do a six miler I go out three miles, turn around and come home. I live over by the Amelia PO. So for me I have to run over the Morse Bridge and back to get in 6 miles. If I go in the other direction I run to Captivia and back or Gators and back is another route. Most of the run is on golf cart paths but in between roads have to be used.
So back to common sense. In order for distance runners to run effectively sometimes they have no choice to run on the roads which makes the most logical sense to get the distance in.
