Is it possible to put in a 100 mile week all sprinting, say sub 60 pace? Maybe it means you could only do repeats such as 1600 x 110 yards. Would you ruin your season? Your career? Would you get cancer? Would you rather get hit in the face with a brick? Please share your insight.
4hr 4min 100mi week? Ouch.
Spine would fall off.
It could hurt, but it might help...although "sub 60" isn't necessarily sprinting. For some people it is, but for most people who would even think about "100 mile sprint weeks" would have a sprint speed closer to 50s/lap.
Many great runners have done short efforts on the track or roads repeated MANY times...think Zatopeks interval workouts or some other runners who did 20,30,40+ wind sprints/strides after easy runs...there are many ways to get endurance, and hard efforts with short recoveries often works better then easy/moderate effort over a long time.
But 100 miles is a bit too much. Actually way too much.
yes it is
I like it. Go for it, I say.

60 second pace would be way more than that. That would be more like 40 second 400 pace.
Yeah, he meant 6:40
If it were possible, Igloi would have had his guys do it.
He didn't, so it's not.
