Would I get the same benefit if I ran three and a half miles before work and three and a half miles after work or should I just do it all before or after work?
Why is it sideways?

Split the 7 into a 6 and a 4.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com

No, splitting them won't give you the same. But if you've got time after work to do 7, then I'm not sure what the problem is.

but if you scheduled for X number of miles, you can't run Y and Z and expect them to equal X. Doing it occasionally is fine, no one day or week makes up how fast you are, but you shouldn't regularly be breaking up runs to make them more manageable. Stress/Adaption and all that.
