I'm not seeing how this example shows 80% hard mileage, even if you did it daily.
He listed 10 miles of continuous threshold pace in the AM, and a 5 mile race-pace effort 4 hours later in the PM. You think doing this daily doesn’t show “at least 80% mileage hard” at way too hard an effort?

170 heart rate is not race pace unless you are a 70 year old man...

Dude says one idiotic thing as the setup then doubles down by referencing HR with no context. Not even trying for trolling. And even incredibly weak for an earnest post.
If your aim is to get the most enjoyment out of running on a daily basis, and 1) you're not too concerned about race results, and 2) you can get away it, then fill your boots.
I suspect most serious runners take pleasure in improving their personal bests, and training in the way that's going to best achieve that - but if that's not you, then do what makes you happy.

Of course you've got to be careful with training too hard, but I think training too slow is far more common.
You're practically walking 50 miles a week and then wondering why you're stuck at 36 minutes for 10k.
