I ran 65 miles last week in 5 runs.
65/5=13 miles per run...so....
What would that be worth in 7 runs? 70? 75?
What would that be worth in 12 runs? 80?

it is worth exactly 65 miles in 5 runs.
This is the formula I've invented (although somebody else probably came up with it first!):
65 / 5 = 13 miles/day * 7 = 91 miles (had you kept it up for the full week)
91*(1/3) + 65*(2/3) = ~77 miles
That's my best guess.
thanks...couldn't of figured that one out....
Great. So someone tries to help and you are rude back to them.
The answer is what the first reply said. It is not "worth" anything other than exactly what it is.
Biggest pet peeve are the guys who say how much mileage they did in 5 or 6 days and think it's worth more than what they ran. 65 miles in 6 days is exactly...65 miles in 7 days if you didn't run the 7th day. While others are out running you decided to rest, so you can't count any mileage when you didn't run. I ran 57 miles in 3 days, what does that equal? 136 miles in 7 days because I kept running.
So you're telling me that if I ran 65 miles in a week over 6 days of single runs or if I ran 65 miles in a week over 14 runs that its equal? I tend to disagree. I could break that into 5 miles a run twice a day and make it 70...I FULL HEARTEDLY feel that it was more beneficial to do it in 5 runs. Sorry but I don't see it your way.
even if it was more beneficial it is still 65 miles and NO MORE. Why get caught up in the equivalancy bullshit? You ran 65 miles, and not a one more.
I see triathletes do this all the time. They run 50 per week, do some biking and swimming, and claim that they run 100-120 miles per week.
I know. I should have said runner A did 65 miles...This wasn't based on my training. So please stop redirecting towards me. It was a hypothetical situation.
I think it was directed at you because in your OP you said "I ran 65 miles in 5 runs last week." I think that's what threw them off.
Regardless, you ran 65 miles in a week. That means you ran 65 miles in a week. The fact that you skipped two days for whatever reason and didn't bother to make them up does not make your feat more impressive. It makes it less impressive. If I were a coach, I would rather you ran more miles in more runs. 65 doesn't cut it, and only managing to get in 5 runs shows lack of dedication.
