Curious what people think about this. I'm someone who has two very specific problems with high mileage training: number one is a general lack of desire to slog through the slow mileage and number two is that a long run every week is a little too frequently. I have had luck with scheduling a long run every 10 days though. So I'm curious if anyone has scheduled a "100 mile a week" similar to the following:

Sunday: 12-15 mile long run

Monday: 3 in AM/5 in PM

Tuesday: 4 in AM/8k-10k worth of tempo or cruise interval work

Wednesday: 3 in AM/6 in PM w/ strides

Thursday: 4 in AM/3k-5k worth of faster paced track work

Friday: 3 in AM/6-8 in PM

Saturday: 4 in AM/6 in PM w/ strides

Sunday: 3 in AM/6 in PM

Monday: 4 in AM/8k-10k worth of tempo

Tuesday: 4 in AM/6 in PM

With warmup and cooldown should be ~100 but is it legit? Is this a good plan? Is it sacrilege to not do a Sunday long run? Discus.

Ten days is not a week. Your plan is so flawed.

This is basically my conundrum. I would love to one day join the pantheon of those who have run 100 miles a week but it isn't really my best training methodology. This loophole may be my only shot at it. I see a lot of threads on here about structuring a 100 mile week but I'm sure I'm not alone in being averse to that level of high mileage so I wanted to provide hope and discussion for those who struggle to squeeze out 14 every day and muster a 20 mile long run.

Not an expert but I might suggest that not everyone is built to run 100 mpw. Furthermore, that is not a magic number for success. In fact it is arbitrary. Something to think about.
