Anyone out there who has bumped up their mileage and become even faster with training at higher mileage? Please write your mileage and pr’s that you have gained by doing this. Really interested to see some success stories. Perhaps talk about your progression too?
This doesn’t answer your question, think of it as a bump haha, but I’m about to average 30 mpw higher than I did last winter so I hope it does help! (Most Miles being added are in the form of slow recovery Doubles
Coming into 2012 I had run 1:59 800, 4:34 1600, 9:43 3200 and 15:54 high school times. I got cut from my University team in 2012 and trained by myself since then. I started working with a coach in 2016 who has run 63:XX and 2:14:XX. Mileage has helped, but not being hurt since 2011 has helped more. Parentheses are the avg weekly mileage for the year.
