Forums >Racing>200 Mile weeks
Funny how you can read a whole thread without noticing it's 6 years old.
I'm sure we've all been there at some point...anyway, this is actually a really interesting and entertaining thread, so I for one am grateful to see it at the top of the list.
And as a FYI, his 5k PR (mid 16's), came at the end of a 200 mile week.
That does it. I'm running a 200 mile week!

i guess I should build up to 200 mile months first.
You people have issues
not bad for mile 25

Nah, do the 200 mile weeks first and the months will follow.
That's what I'm thinking. Just let it happen naturally.
I like this. One 200 mile week, 3 weeks of rest. Rinse and repeat.
One 200 mile week, knee cartilage is ground into a fine powder, 3 weeks of rest.
More like this, I'm thinking.

I hope come close to this in a few weeks, but will be a bit short. Probably more like a 170-180 mile week. And 2-3 weeks of rest.
Anyone who wants to beat me to 2000 better do it before September 26.
Nah, my knees are fine. It's the damn Achilles and hammies that scream at me all too regularly.

Hmm, that requires a 260+ mile September for me. I may not make it.

Yeah, running almost 200 miles in a week is one thing but do you have the guts to race a 5K after??
double post
I will be happy if I can walk 5K after.
Funny thing about miles, though. Finally, late in the game, I've been getting decent mileage for Spartathlon. After today's long run this week will be 85, I think my biggest training week ever. 90 penciled in for next week. All easy miles... still, the amazing things to me are (1) the crap I am dealing with (hamstring, Achilles) seems totally insensitive to mileage, or maybe happier on high mileage, and (2) the overall mental and physical effort required on each run now seems negligible. It's like the bigger the week, the easier it is. Once doubles become the norm, running any amount is really nothing at all. I wonder how far up this effect would last.
