[Closed] Runners, how long to build up to 100km a week?

Woohoo, an arbitrary ill advised running goal

Can we be friends? Please?

Love the idea, I'm not going to tell you it's a good idea though as it probably isn't.

Sounds brilliant though, and has put the idea of knocking out some 100 mile weeks into my empty head. Might even have a crack at that in a couple of weeks time. Already knocking out marathon distance training runs without much fuss.

Hmmmm, I do like I'll advised arbitrary goals.

PS, find yourself a physio and take preemptive action by getting seen to before getting injured.

Also, I agree with Surfers last post.

I have a friend who ran 90mpw week in week out and would have done more but for niggling injuries that occured when he did higher mileages. He ran 28:16 for 10km on the track and 62 mins for 1/2M but was disapointed to only manage 2:17 for the Marathon

I suspect if I was running 90 miles a week I'd still not be able to run 10km in under 30 minutes. I bet he wouldn't either if all he was doing was running 90 steady paced miles.

Worth remembering the OP isn't worried about being quick.

It's not arbitrary, if you read the op.

Absolutely and that is a point I made earlier. I trained with him occasionally but other than our long Sunday runs which where around 6 minute miling, a significant part of his training was at a faster pace but much of it was around 5:30 - 6 minute miling which was achievable ny me and a number of club mates but his interval sessions where impressive and thats the key.
