I ran 102 miles last week. How many people in the world do you think ran further?

I don't think that many. I reckon in the USA, in any one week, no more than 100. I think 1500-2000 world wide.

100 mpw is a serious training effort, but when I was an assistant coach for D1 XC, we had weeks with 7-8 guys on ONE TEAM running over 100 mpw. There are a lot of teams out there. Way more than 100 college guys routinely go over 100 mpw at this time of year.

Damn you are naive....Only in Norway I know about more than 20 people running that amount, and Im no long distance runner hanging with other ld guys.

Many thousands worldwide, obviously.

my d3 school has 6 people over 102 this week. If we take that as a basis and assume many d3 schools have about that many and most d1 schools have more like 10-15. Then include all the people who train professionally or for no good reason--just like to run. I bet it's closer to 2000

We have exactly 10 guys on our team over 100 miles for last week. 3 others 90+...Not trollin. Just sayin. Either way, in my opinion running over 80+ mpw is a significant accomplishment compared to what an AVERAGE person does in a week...

I run 100km hard and 15 easy for warm-up and cool-down. I bet my PR's are much better that u joggers who run 100miles just for the number....

3k -> 8-23

5k -> 14-35

10k -> 31-27

I am 18 years old

You know what is shit? Your endurance. You should put in more miles.

I've done 100 miles in one day.

you need to travel pal. lot's of people walk that much and more daily. go to guatemala and watch the indians go up and down the mountains carrying wood on their heads all day. go to india or southern africa and be prepared to be dropped.

100/7 = 14.xx miles per day.

herp derp.

Your point? If you think there significant groups of people in the world who run over 14 miles every single day for non training purposes, you are not very smart.

walking /= running
