This has been fun to read. Hope all you guys are doing good. If I remember right, Max and Danimal did 108 and only stopped because Jerry didn't want to go overboard with it. Danimal ran his last one in 30, but Max dumped a 27.

Max ran 8.42 for the steeple at Oregon Twilight the other day. im guessing this is after no steeple training considering he's been running 50k's recently! What a guy!

I used to subscribe to this "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" mentality. A few years of injury cured that real quick though. For long term success you need to stay healthy above all else and for someone who is injury prone, doing a workout like this even ONCE would probably mean tweaking something. Whether it's a week long nagging pain that you have to ice a ton, a few days off to heal, or a season ending injury, depends on the person and the workout.
Some people are unbreakable and I say go ahead and try stuff like this; if it doesn't break you maybe you'll get some benefit out of it. But for anyone in the injury prone category things like this are suicide. It's not lack of "toughness" or not being able to "suck it up". It's just that if we do tough it out we'll be sorry later. You can be injury prone and still run 100 mile weeks and run very hard workouts. But when it comes to stuff like this you need durability, and durability is a talent.

durability is a talent - I hate that some teams hand out year end awards for that!! So, in othe words you get an award for having what your mother gave to you?! Sucks.
As badass as Max is today, I shudder to think of the protocol that would cause him to completely shut down for over a year.
