He is running about 70mpw and we do 1-2 workouts a week, no one has ever run this much on our team, but he is the best distance runner on the team, i figure he'll probably burn out soon, he's a junior, and most of the seniors on our team run 50-60mpw
Why do you think he'll burn out? Is he gettin stale? Assuming this is high school, there are some kids who do 85+. It's only "too much" if he thinks it is.
70mpw is no biggie. Instead of contemplating deep matters such as this, why don't you get off your a$$ and run?
umm its a weekend and i have a life
"Teamate"? Is that someone you sip tea with?
No, he's not running too much and he'll probably beat you. Is that what you want? Have all the life you want, who's going to have more of a life when you're only the 2nd best runner on your team.
You don't know much about LD running, do you? If your teammate hasn't suddenly rushed into the 70mpw territory, he will be alright.

lol you are an idiot
Everyone is different.
I can't tell you if he is running too much. Every runner is different. Some do fine with high mileage, others don't. I can tell you that it is not uncommon for high school runners to hit 70 mpw. If he is ready for that amount of miles and he gets adequate recovery then he shouldn't burn out. And I don't know why you are so concerned that he is Junior and is running more miles than the Seniors on your team when he is your best runner. There is barely a difference between Juniors and Seniors besides one is about to graduate. Yeah age can be one factor in determining how many miles you are capable of running but some Juniors are almost the same age as some Seniors.
He's more motivated than you are. Quit trying to drag him down. High mileage alone doesn't make you burn out. Take some time to learn about your sport, kid.
