what's the most mileage you've heard of one guy doing in any given week at the college level? hs level?

jerry lindgren ran 200 or so a week in hs and for 6 weeks ran 350 in college, no kidding
not to be picky, but it's gerry, not jerry
Lindgren was the co-holder of the 6m world record in 27:11.6 (co-held with Mills who was declared the photo-finish winner at the AAU championship meet)
Personally, I have exchanged e-mails with Lindgren. He is a comical guy and still manages to run 50m/week or so... He is a vergitarian... Told me that he didn't log his miles, just ran because he loved it, his "totals" are estimates (though probably fairly accurate) of his coaches, people he knew...
Many will disagree, but I consider him one of the greatest distance runners ever.
