Hey i was wondering what the average high schoolboy runs a week. I do about 35 and feel like that is very low.

I ran about 50 a week when I was in high school.
got up to 56mpw in the summer, but mostly 30-40 during the seasons. this was back in the late90s/early 2000s though
and i sucked. (which perhaps is not surprising)
I ran around 60 in the offseason and 40 during the season.
i didn't track my mileage my senior year but i'm pretty sure it was around 40mpw during season and 50 at most in offseason

Most of the varsity boys at my high school were doing ~80 miles per week in the summer. They were ranked top 10 in the nation for some of this XC season.
Most schoolboys that are high would probably not worry about tracking their mileage. It's all about the flow...
The average high school boy probably runs around 15-25 mpw. They also run a 21:00 5k. Athletes running 50+ mpw are definitely the exception.
Back up to 55mpw now. Did 50-60 for most of the summer, dropped to 50 for half the xc season, 40 for the 2nd half. Building back to 70 atm; I'll get there in ~6 weeks. This summer gonna hit 75, maybe 80, idk though.
