      • Female, 22 years old... hit 100 once.

        Wondering what's the most mileage you've ever run in a week? I'm sure there's some that have done 130-140 on these boards?

        Would you say if your body can handle it, it's beneficial to run that much while training for a marathon?

      • 133 in a week.
        I feel it depends on a persons running background and marathon experience to determine if running that much would be beneficial.

      • 185.

        I was on a roll of good mileage and was due to end base, so I did 185 to hit a marathon per day. Took two weeks to recover...

        Lies, you probably did a quick 4 on sunday night to make it over 100 when you realized you were short

      • 112, about 7 years ago. Hoping to top that in 2011 or 2012, although I haven't been over 80 mpw in years.

      • 125 (14=14+16+16+24+19+22), while training for a marathon. Yes, it was VERY beneficial, as were the hills, weight training and sleep...

      • I know someone who drove 10,000 miles in a week. Still not as impressive as Malmo's numbers.
