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...

Some people believe that there is a slight difference:
1. I like TO RUN. You are just making a general statement.
Question: What do you like to do when you have time?
Answer: I like to run, to swim, and to walk.
2. I like RUNNING. You may be doing this activity when you say this sentence.
Question: You have been running for an hour. But you don't look tired. Why?
Answer: Because I like running. I am now going to run for two more hours.

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
