That ain't nothin'. Once I went from 0 miles a week to 5,000 miles a week, all of it was at 5:00 pace or faster. I also swam 3,000 miles that week while carrying a 5 ton steel I-beam on my back on my way to and from work. And then to top it all of I ran 1:30 in a local marathon to break the world record but they didn't keep official time. I'm also God.
9/10, the last sentence almost gave you away
No, he´s right, you´re wrong. You guys going from 60miles to 140miles (which I doubt..) are nothing but fools who doesn`t have the patience to do the bump of volume right, over a months. You want results quickly, but either get injured or just mess your body with too big challence, that will not get the anabolic reaction from the training. Instead, your body is breaking down slowly, or quickly. That´s the difference between overtraining: catabolic reaction, optimal training: anabolic reaction. The bump of mileage has to be reasonable, not too little, not too much to get it right.

maybe he just wants to see how many miles he can run in a week because he has a couple weeks off of "real life" for whatever reason. so he needs "quick results" because after next week it's back to the grind for him.
jeez, everyone is acting like this guy has the ultimate training set up and all the time in the world.
This whole idea is just plain dumb. Within a few weeks he will be injured and not running for a long time. No way he can recover.
please keep us posted! And please keep the same handle so we can have a little bit of schadenfreude when your next thread is..."I've been resting due to a femoral stress fracture since early January. The stress fracture was due to overuse and a sudden increase in mileage. As it is now mid February, my doctor said I could return to running as long as I do so gradually. He advised that I run on a treadmill. Today, I ran for the first time. I walked for five minutes, then ran for five minutes at an 8:45 pace, walked for another five minutes, and then ran for 5 minutes at an 8:45 pace. I felt little twinges of very,very subtle pain while running and walking. However, later in the day the pain got a little bit worse, though not nearly as bad as it was prior to taking time off of running. Is it normal to feel a little pain when getting back into running?"Read more: http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=4449392#ixzz1mMFyxpcm

I started at 40-50-60-66 then I went to 146. Ill try to hit 175 this week. sounds like a good number.
I'll try to keep everyone posted.
Shenanigans.
Your name "Desperate for Beantown" imples that you really want to qualitfy for the Boston Marathon.
You 19 mile time in the middle of a 140+ mile week, 2:01 shows that Boston Q is an easy task. ~ <2:25 shape.
I believe that it is a universal feeling amongst fast runners that qualifing for Boston is not a badge of pride.
So I am guessing that the 19 miles in 2:01 or the 140+ week is not true. Maybe both
How many of then were in your car?

You think you're super smart, but I already qualified for Boston. I'm running it this year.
To all of you other guys who seem to know it all, suck it. If I get a stress fracture and I'm out for six weeks, who's gonna miss me?
14 miles this morning. A little slower than usual, a hair under 715 pace.
And actually, the 19 miler was AFTER the 146 mile week. I ran it as hard as I could because I felt like it.
dig dig dig - I'm ringing a cowbell for you, but you can't hear it.
there have been a few MONTHS when I've done over 146 miles
What's the world record for the most miles in a week? I think you really ought to consider challenging it, whatever it is.

I haven't thought about trying the beer/mileage challenge, this one is just about running only I suppose. I did drink about 25 beers total this weekend not counting shots.
What an idiotic statement. Why would you count shots in your beer count? That would be like saying, "I ran 150 miles last week not counting driving."

Thanks for your input.
Bro keep us posted this is interesting as hell. Good luck and don't get hurt way to just push ur limits and see what you can do!
Here's the classic thread, by the way:

You probably have slow PRs (that are faster than mine) and many will laugh at your pursuit, but if you score mid 2s in Boston I'll be impressed.

Yiannis Kouros ran a little over 700 miles in 7 days in his 1000 mile world record run. Go for 750 next week.
Another 7 in the books. I was thinking I'd maybe take a down week next week if I make it through this week. My PRs are modest, 31.:15 and 15:15
This guy is a tool box. You came to the wrong site. I think you were looking for runners world or runningahead. Otherwise your mediocre time at a novelty distance are just boring.
I ran 82.4 miles last week,I am thinking about doing 164.6 next week.
Ran only 8 this morning, I'm going to run again later. Had half a mind to do a fartlek, but the snow on the ground was a little much.
So I think that's 59 miles for the week so far give or take a couple.
