from a filipino :)

Answer

The answers of Suzanne are correct, but you may also say them as:

”Tumakbo ako ng limang milya” or “Limang milya ang tinakbo ko” or “Ang tinakbo ko ay limang milya”.

“Tumakbo ako ng sampung milya kahapon” or “Sampung milya ang tinakbo ko kahapon” or “Ang tinakbo ko kahapon ay sampung milya”.

Answer

@Jay - I would consider saying it in Taglish as just a choice.  I would most likely say it as, "limang/sampung milya ang tinakbo ko".  Feels more natural to me that way.

Answer

Maraming Salamat po Jay!

Answer

The answers of Suzanne and Henry are both correct. But in normal conversation, this would be a Taglish.

Tumakbo ako ng five miles.
Tumakbo ako ng ten miles kahapon.

Even, the numbers would be in English or sometimes combination of "limang miles" or "sampung miles."
