A decent amount of NCAA runners are running 100 mile weeks right now. As mentioned before there are probably atleast a few on every halfway decent team. I'm sure there are some teams with 10 or more. That said most runners in the NCAA are not running that much but my rough guess is that 600-700 D1 runners and 300 or so D2/3/naia/jc guys running that type of volume so we'll say 1000.

1000 college runners at over 100 mpw. Not a chance.

Remember the following.

1) School has started as have meets.

2) Most d1 teams are pretty terrible. I'd be stunned if there was an average of 1 per team. I'd also be stunned if there was a single NCAA team with anything close to 10 guys. Maybe 10 that have done it once this summer. MAYBE. But last week? No chance.

I have no idea how many people use the log running2win but they list 7 guys on the site over 100 last week and zero women.

I don't think that many. I reckon in the USA, in any one week, no more than 100. I think 1500-2000 world wide.
100 mpw is a serious training effort, but when I was an assistant coach for D1 XC, we had weeks with 7-8 guys on ONE TEAM running over 100 mpw. There are a lot of teams out there. Way more than 100 college guys routinely go over 100 mpw at this time of year.

Damn you are naive....Only in Norway I know about more than 20 people running that amount, and Im no long distance runner hanging with other ld guys.

Many thousands worldwide, obviously.

re: Mileage guy

my d3 school has 6 people over 102 this week. If we take that as a basis and assume many d3 schools have about that many and most d1 schools have more like 10-15. Then include all the people who train professionally or for no good reason--just like to run. I bet it's closer to 2000

re: rojo

We have exactly 10 guys on our team over 100 miles for last week. 3 others 90+...Not trollin. Just sayin. Either way, in my opinion running over 80+ mpw is a significant accomplishment compared to what an AVERAGE person does in a week...

You know what is shit? Your endurance. You should put in more miles.

re: Drain Baby

you need to travel pal. lot's of people walk that much and more daily. go to guatemala and watch the indians go up and down the mountains carrying wood on their heads all day. go to india or southern africa and be prepared to be dropped.

100/7 = 14.xx miles per day.
herp derp.
Your point? If you think there significant groups of people in the world who run over 14 miles every single day for non training purposes, you are not very smart.

walking /= running
