I did this and got to 29 before I gave up. I started walking up steep hills and realized it was becoming hiking. June between my sophomore and junior years of college.
What about the psycho ultra/trail runners who can bust out 100 milers on a whim?
I remember following a japanese guy on strava who did 100km a day for 100 days as a challenge. I think he got injured after 30 days but it was still impressive how far he got. He wasn't a particularly fast runner but he knew how to knock out a lot of slow, high mileage runs. I reckon he could do this challenge up to around day 60 or 70.
1) A non-runner tries this and will get too exhausted/sore legs/or develop an injury before hitting 10 miles.
2) Serious runner putting in 60-70mpw and running around 30 minutes for 10K will probably do well up to around 24-25 miles.
I am guessing more like 20. The accumulated fatigue of basically doing a long run every day for 5 days will break most people down.
Of course if you start allowing walking and training for the event, you would get up to the like 70 that people have averaged on things like run across the USA.

I agree. Its not how far can you run. Its running 15, 16, 17,18, 19, 20.....in a row
