Jakob Ingebrigtsen runs 115 mpw

Wow, that's quite high for someone who's a 1500m!

Says he hates the long run, but his daily run distance is ~16 miles. His long run must be like 20+ miles in which case I would hate that too.

Jakob never runs over 13 miles at once

Doubles baby

It all depends but it’s probably worth noting we are in the off-season. I suspect when he’s racing the mileage is more like 80-90 and might even dip lower which is still quite high for an athlete who runs a ton of 1500s.

You wouldn’t get precise numbers from Fisher but it’s in the 90-100 range it sounds like. Might be higher in actuality if he’s counting it by “Jerry Miles.” If Klecker’s Strava is accurate he was running 70-80ish in season. We’ll see how much that goes up when he gets heavy into winter training. The NAU guys I wonder too - feels like a pretty high-mileage system but I doubt over 100mpw.

You can check drew bosley's strava, i think i saw him run over 100 mpw in the summer and stanford guys also run high mileage

in the womens side, nc state ran 70 mpw before their season started, with katelyn tuohy running more than 70 mpw

but, how much quality miles???

16x6=96 minutes. That's not a huge amount of time on his feet and he runs his easy runs faster than six minutes per mile, plus all the threshold runs, hill sprints, and track workouts much faster, so he's probably running for no more than an hour and a half a day.

J.I. is a fast 1500m runner but he is not a classic 1500m champion athlete. A true championship 1500m athlete is a runner who can win a 1500m race 1200m split, 2:45 to a 1500m race split 1200m 3:10. It makes sense that J.I. trains for 5000m and races both 1500m & 5000m.

The reigning Olympic champion is not a true championship 1500m athlete. Tragic.

I was under the impression that the Colorado Buffaloes under Wetmore ran the highest mileage, no?

No, his longest run is 20-25 kilometers.

It is tragic. J.I. had to be paced to a 2:22.xx or 2:23.xx 1000m. I true 1500m champ can win a race with 1000m split in 2:25 to 2:35 range.

A true championship 1500 athlete is someone who wins a 1500 championship. Jakob clearly falls into that category.

Ovett ran up to 110 miles per week.

The Ingebrigtsen show: Dad Gjert complains that Jakob is running too fast on the LR and Filip+Henrik is planted.... Jakob: "I have been running 3:45 since I was 8".

Pretty sure the Stanford guys (at least Charles Hicks) runs around 100 per week.

I don't understand why people are still surprised that elite 1500m guys run 100mpw+

As someone else mentioned, this has been happening since the 70-80's at least

Or the early 1960s with Peter Snell.
