Do all NCAA championship d1 winners RUN 100+ miles per week?
what's required is enormous amount of talent. I think Ches mileage is between 80-90 miles.
It was quite a while ago but I know the women's champ from the mid 80s was running about 40 mpw.
More interesting to know is how many freshmen suffer overuse related injuries in their first year
I'd be surprised if one NCAA champion ran 100 miles per week. They're young adults training for 10k. Not veterans training for a marathon. 80-90 miles would be standard.
Lots of guys run 100+ though.
But to answer the question, no it's not required. The NCAA XC Champion is generally a guy that works hard but has a ton of talent.
There are lots of guys in the 10-40 range that prob run more miles but don't have the same talent.
and ultimately leave the sport altogether. This is where the UK club system is far superior to the USA collegiate model.

Does the club system also pay for two hundred grand worth of tuition?
Just about all collegiate runners will never have the same conditions/ atmosphere to train in post college. I say go for it forget. May need a job and will not be able to train hard post college.

Yeah no NCAA champs do 100 mpw. Certainly not Josh McDougal...or Cam Levins...
Lawi Lalang ran 50mpw when he won Ncaa xc. I'd take a smart trained runner on 60mpw over a slow mileage 100mpw junker any day. The point is to run the fastest, not who can run the most miles.
Let's assume he was top 20. Would 30-40 more get him to champ? I would think that is the question.

^^ above all else. Hard work, staying injury-free, and not getting sick before the big meet also huge. Talent trumps all though.
No, because three years of university fees will only set you back about £26000.

Gerry Lindgren (66, 67, 69) certainly did.
What about team champions? Most of the winning teams at all levels are high mileage.
