I run 40-60 miles a week.
That 's about 6 hours with my heart rate about 150-160 bpm. 3 X 30 minutes is reasonable. Start slowly if you are not currently doing any cardio at all. ETA - If you can injure yourself by doing too much cardio, I haven't seen it yet. |

That plan would work good to get into it. Then as you go slowly increase time and then start adding more days.
You dont want to run 6 days a week right away or else you will start to get stress fractures. And then yes you will hurt yourself doing cardio. But if you slowly work upto 6 days a week cardio you shouldnt have any problems. |

you are young and in good health.Do as much as your body allows.Obviously you can over do it,so stop if you feel any pain.
Stay within your target zone.No reason to go beyond that.....that I can think of. |

I have to second EAsr thoughts. However, I've known guys ("our age"50), that have had repetious motions like you describe using the "eliptical"everyday will wear down your joints/cartalige/etc. in specific areas causing soreness/pain. I personally try to vary my running motions on diffrent carido machines YMMV.
