How fast is the average athlete that puts in 70+ miles a week?

800 and mile runners that average 70m/w are likely to be elite runners.

On the opposite there are way more marathon runners that average 70m/w so the average performance is weaker.

Si I would say

1'50

4'

16'

35'

21.1km : 1h20

42, 2km : 3h

Yeah, just like the average student with an IQ of 105 could get a PhD in astrophysics if they studied 40 hours a week instead of 20.

?

It sounds like you're being sarcastic, but these are the spot-on requirements for a PhD in astrophysics, or any other supposed marker of high intelligence that's credential-based. It's mostly mediocre minds putting in time and reps.

How do you think our half-wit Benevolent Dictators made it through Ivys?

I hope this is a troll post. 2:03 is way better than any other performance, and 35:00 by using simple math is better than 17:30.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but somehow am when I come back to Letsrun and find that nearly everyone takes a term like “athlete” and presumes it means Male athlete. You have to factor in women and there are a lot of 19/21 min 5k college women, not to mention soccer moms, out there plodding through 70+ miles per week. One poster got it correct in showing Strava accounts for men and women.

The fact is there is no need for 70 + mpw to reach individual optimum performance , so why

run that kind of mileage when you don`t have to?

Because it is necessary to run 70+ miles a week to reach max potential in runners.

There is still some way from 2.08 to 2.00 and a VERY long way to 1:47.

By the way: I ran 2:07.5 when I was 52.

You claim it`s necessary , I claim it`s not. The big differece between our statements is that I have proven that mine holds in practice.

If you can’t run 14:00 for 5000 m off 70 mpw, (113 km/week) you should either learn how to train or quit.

This is absurd. People are different. Plenty of trials qualifiers who are barely sub-15 but log 100+ mpw to go sub-2:19.

We're having a conversation about where an average runner can get to. When I ran my first cross 5k in HS, I couldn't break 20:00. The #1 on our team broke 17 right away. Talent matters. I'm impressed with any runner that runs fast on less training or works at it to achieve good times. We don't have to slam either.

Ummm... how fast do you think that 3hr marathoner could run 800m or 1600m?

My wife's running group of about 50 people averages 75 MPW. The fastest person is a 3 hour marathoner and most are 4 hour marathoners. Nobody can run a mile faster than 6 minutes and most would be lucky to break 7 minutes. There are way more average runners putting in 70 MPW than you guys realize.

Research has shown cps test that runners who run high mileage tend to be more economical, which has led to the suggestion among scientists that running more than 70 miles per week improves running economy (the amount of oxygen used to maintain a given pace).01-May-2007

My progression. Keep in mind that this mileage was an average over a 15-18 week span.

50 mpw - 1:34 Half, 3:17 marathon.
60 mpw - 1:29 Half, 3:09 marathon.
70 mpw - 1:25 half, 2:58 marathon.

I also ran a 18:53 5K and a 39:20 10K off 43 miles a week for a 10 week training block.

I also ran a 17:31 5K on a 55 mpw average over a 12 week training block.

This guy is correct.

Note the word "average".

well it depends i knew a guy who ran 25-30 miles a week ran 1:54 4:14 15:45 also ran super solid tempos it really doesn't matter, you need to find whats right for you and do it increase mileage and see how you feel on your workout days and long runs.

70 mpw is not really that much in the grand scheme of things, but FWIW even the exceedingly untalented runners I knew that put in years of consistent work were able to lower their 5k time into the 15:xx range, mostly plateauing around 15:30. The 10k was similar, around 32:00-33:00 for untalented runners. Usually you don’t get guys like that trying for the 800/1500 but I’d say most guys like that could’ve run under 2:10 and 4:20.

The speed of an athlete who runs 70+ miles per week can vary widely depending on factors such as their age, gender, genetics, training history, and the type of workouts they do.

That being said, if we assume that the athlete is a distance runner who is training for a marathon, a rough estimate of their pace can be determined by their goal race time. For example, a male athlete who can run a marathon in 3 hours and 30 minutes (which requires an average pace of 8 minutes per mile) may be able to maintain a pace of around 7:00-7:30 per mile during their training runs.

However, it's important to note that training at a fast pace every day is not sustainable or recommended for most runners, as it can lead to injury and burnout. A lot of training for distance runners is done at an easier pace to build endurance and improve recovery. and I also studied on . This platform used for different types of reaction time.
