Most interviews I've read say Mo runs 110-120. I believe I read one that said 130, never heard anything higher than that mentioned.
that's on the road. he does another 20-30 on the alterg or hydroworx or whatever.
Salazar has said this about him and Galen a few times.

I'm not sure why you have a hard time believing a double Olympic Gold Medalists runs between 140-160 miles per week.
I was under the impression that it was common knowledge that Farah was doing this training. Would you believe that he does his mileage at 5:45 pace or does that blow your mind too?
seb coe is a double olympic gold medalist and he didn't run 140-160 per week
see why having gold medals doesn't have any relevance here?
it is not common knowledge because i have read otherwise from salazar himself
everyone claiming him to be doing 150-160 per week has failed to give a quote thus far
if it is such common knowledge then surely it shouldn't be so difficult to give a quote. i'm still waiting
and by the way, i have no problems with him running 5:45 pace. that is slow for him. seb coe ran 5 min mile pace on many runs. salazar himself said galen and mo average 5:40ish mile pace.
the reason i don't believe that he runs 150-160 per week is because i have read otherwise, not because i think he is incapable.

what is "low mileage north americans"
less than 190 per week?
because most of the world would be low mileage by that standard
If his knee blows up tomorrow, he has still had more success than you idiots who think you know something.
yes because anyone who disagrees that 190 miles per week is the optimal way to train is clearly an idiot
But he wasn't because Levins has balls. He shows that in training and he showed that in the Olympic 10000 final.
yes, anyone doing less than 190 per week is a pu.ssy
The lesson here is that if you train average like everyone else, you'll be left in the crowd. If you want to be the best, take a chance and do something different, as well as train hard.
galen rupp was doing less than 100 miles per week until 2011. he ran 13:07 and 27:10 off of less than 100 per week. both faster than cam.

Does this mean you think that Levins would be running 13:07.27:10 if he was running 100 or fewer miles a week?
Farah hits 120-130 on the roads, and another 20-30 miles on the underwater and Alter G. As another poster said, Salazar has confirmed a number of times. I'm not going to go search google for you.
Are you under the impression that Galen Rupp and Cam Levins are the same person? If not, why are you acting like they should train the same way?
Look up Rupp's high school PRs, and compare them to Levins's.
Someone needs to post that youtube video of Cam Levin's running 14:50 or something in a road 5k and losing by 25 seconds.
This race occurred maybe 3 years ago while he was in college. So yea, I'd like to see the comparison of Rupp and Levins PRs from high school to drill home the point of high mileage.

no, imbecile, someone ELSE made a claim that I countered with FACTS.
if you're too lazy or idiotic to go discover those FACTS then YOU are the idiot.
And you're ignorant as sh!t about running, since, like i said, this has been mentioned MULTIPLE times.

It means that I was refuting the claim that "average training" (someone doing way less than levins) will "leave you in the crowd" and gave an example.

fu.cking idiot
no
you made a claim
give a source
you still haven't given a source
that is because he doesn't run 150-160 a week and salazar has never said he runs 150-160 a week
burden of proof lies with the person making or defending a claim
give a source of fu.ck off
imbecile
learn something
who is cam levins dating!? and is she hot!? is she a runner!?

training needs quality, not just slogging through mileage for the sake of running more
why in god's name would you bump up your volume even more when he was already doing 160 per week
if he wants to improve he should focus on running faster in training, not doing more volume
he is not even training for a marathon
Do you know the specifics of his training? Do you know if he is 'slogging miles' or running 5:45 pace?
I seriously question your thought process because Cam Levins is the poster boy for high mileage improvement. He was a no name a couple years ago and now is a 27:20 10k runner.
Your aggressive posting style and insults are very unappealing. I get the impression you just want to win an argument. You want it to be one way, but it's the other way.
muscle imbalance = ventolin
I knew the writing style looked familiar, but couldn't remember who posted this way and you are right, it is ventolin.
The integration of random insults after every post was his style and it fits perfectly with the last few posts.
Just ignore ventolin, he is an idiot and delusional. Easily one of the worst posters on this site.

One has to develop their aerobic capacity to its maximum. He probably isn't slogging all miles. The most effective way to maximize your aerobic capacity is to run volume at steady efforts. You don't know if 190 is too much, until he has done the training. It could be, but no one knows, just yet. The aerobic system is the slowest to develop.

See the previous answer.
Muscle Imbalance wrote:

Are you sure? Do you now when he is planning to be at his best? If it is not for Canadian Nationals, then why would he get into quality running now? Maybe he wants to rock indoors or just outdoors. He has time, if that is the case.
Muscle Imbalance wrote:

Doesn't matter, even 800m runners need to maximize their aerobic capacity like this. Maybe not 190 miles, but certainly, roughly 100 or more during this phase.
Oh and isn't ventolin the javelin thrower who never ran competitively or am I thinking of another bad poster?
Houle and Levins have created a magical concoction of mileage and speed. It's working, isn't it?
