Currently 50 mpw. Long run, tempo run, long intervals and surges. Prediction if 12 warm up pace miles a day for a week. It is possible with my schedule. Not sure if I could even do surges by 5th day.
Thoughts?

Kinda like the pull up method to get really good at pull ups is to set up a pull up bar somewhere in the door way of your house and everytime you walk through that door way you do a pull up. I think this would work.
I'm actually interested in this. Obviously your endurance would never quite get there, as your body could never get acclimated to extended effort, but I'd be fascinated to see the results.
Why 12 hours? There are 24 hours in a day. A real man would wake up once an hour while sleeping.
You will be fired.
I hope this means 12 showers per day. You smell as it is.

Or real woman:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_SharpI'm self employed with no coworkers, working out of my garage. Highs this time of year are in 50s. More showers a day would be required, but not 12. The cold will be more of a factor in about a month.
If I were to try something like this it would be for it's entertainment value. Just wondered if there is a documented instance of someone doing something like this and what the outcome was.
I’d be curious to see what happens if you do it and track it. I have a treadmill in my study, also self-employed. I originally put it there when recovering from a surgery, but now still do short runs to clear my mind or work off a beer. I don’t count them as part of my official mpw schedule, though, and have no idea whether they help my training.
Try to fap after each one too
This is nearly how I got good at running as a youth, we had 5 or 6 breaks a day at school at which we played soccer for 12 minutes, not quite the same thing, but close enough. May I suggest you do some of the miles very slow, and some at or a bit faster than your goalpace for whatever you want to achieve, and yes, keep surging!

So basically JD cruise intervals: 12 x 1 mile w/ 54-min rest. Go for it.
There was a German marathon coach who adviced to do sessions like this exactly. Not every day, though. But I don't know at the moment. Maybe it was Peter Greif, but I could be wrong. However, it seems to work because the bodys energy systems are active the whole long day fir hours...
Since you already have your aerobic base, it will work great. That is if you really have the discipline to run 12 times per day. Problem is you could more easily outpace yourself and not finish your mileage.
Inspired by an Ian Edwards thread I tried a couple variations but only for one day. 1 mile every half hour for 10 hours and another time 2 mile every hour for 10 miles. The 1 x mile with shorter rest was naturally faster and easier. The 2 x mile with longer rest was not very fun. Ian Edwards did 2 miles every hour for 24 hours and documented it. If you do your week thing, please let us follow.

Fixed.
Would you consider 4 x 3 miles
8 am
12 pm
4 pm
8 pm
More flexibility in what you can do. Similarly concept. More realistic to achieve.
I actually wonder if the future of super high level training will include no or super low impact (think bike or pool work) as part of the recovery period. The heart rate would get mildly elevated by this slow work. As malmo preaches with mre than one run per day, it's more stimulus. It could be a crackpot theory that is counterproductive or causes physical damage, but I've wondered about it. A typical day would be:
a.m. run
during the day: mild low or no impact work to raise heart rate (either nearly continuously or at intervals, think about using one of those under desk pedal sets while playing FIFA soccer in the NOP jail)
p.m. run or workout
Of course, this could also be done with an a.m., mid-day, and p.m. run or workout
this kind of all day workout is intriguing.
i did 15 x mile in a relay with 4 guys, 15 miles in 6 hours. grade 11.
flats on thick cinders 540 to 520 miles.
sucked on glucose caps in the rest phase,
not a hard thing to do if you have a base it was about a minute above the PR.
the adaptation without redlining is great.
but it was a one off.
for a marathoner with a 4 min mile capability of the moment, the equivalent workout is like 440 to 450 miles x 15, with 15 minutes rest.
9am to 3pm.
an honest day's work.
consider full recovery work.
also consider long sessions of stride outs, 150 m to 300m at 1500m race pace, but full recovery, we're talking
walking, shooting the breeze, relaxing between.
the idea is to keep your speed intact, and run properly, so you're never too far away from stepping up to the plate.
rupp and al sal, might want to look at this.
fascinating, fun stuff.
the great failure of over distance training is that your muscles will adapt mostly to slow pace.
and also a failure to recover.
believe it or not, these full recovery workouts are extremely motivational.
try it.
