Maybe I'm judging him differently because he goes to Harvard but he said on the podcast he runs 100 miles a week on 6 days with 1 double. That's 16+ miles a day.
Am I missing something? Anyone else thought this was really high?
If you told me the NCAA XC champ was running 100 miles a week I wouldn't be surprised, but the way he's doing it indicates even more volume than the actual mileage totals.
16 mile workout todays sounded common. 3 mile warm-up, 3 mile cooldown. Then a 10 mile workout. That is a lot of volume.
Then he laughed when Rojo said he might be good at the marathon.
Any other college kids train like this. We never did more than 5-6 miles of anything hard.
