Is it correct?
I know the correct way is: I like running every day.
But I read this: I like to running every day.
What's the difference?Sorry! I mean:
I like running...
I like to run...

like doing = enjoy doing (= general preference, hobbies, interests)
I like driving (in general)
like to do = I think it's right/normal to do (even if you don't enjoy it)
I like to clean my house at weekends (I think it's right to do so, even if I don't really enjoy the process)
But in the modern language the difference is very subtle and you may use both variants
