This has been fun to read. Hope all you guys are doing good. If I remember right, Max and Danimal did 108 and only stopped because Jerry didn't want to go overboard with it. Danimal ran his last one in 30, but Max dumped a 27.

Max ran 8.42 for the steeple at Oregon Twilight the other day. im guessing this is after no steeple training considering he's been running 50k's recently! What a guy!

You've got to understand there are two types of track coaches: psychologists and physiologists.
This is a psychologist's workout. Sure it might not have immediate physical benefits (and I'll even concede that some of its effects may be initally deterimental), but knowing you're tough enough to make it into the 80s is a huge mental boost. There's a reason FM's guys teams did so well in the 80s and 90s: after doing workouts like this, they knew they were tougher and better than any team they raced.
Physiologists tend to forget about the organ between the ears.
I used to subscribe to this "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" mentality. A few years of injury cured that real quick though. For long term success you need to stay healthy above all else and for someone who is injury prone, doing a workout like this even ONCE would probably mean tweaking something. Whether it's a week long nagging pain that you have to ice a ton, a few days off to heal, or a season ending injury, depends on the person and the workout.
Some people are unbreakable and I say go ahead and try stuff like this; if it doesn't break you maybe you'll get some benefit out of it. But for anyone in the injury prone category things like this are suicide. It's not lack of "toughness" or not being able to "suck it up". It's just that if we do tough it out we'll be sorry later. You can be injury prone and still run 100 mile weeks and run very hard workouts. But when it comes to stuff like this you need durability, and durability is a talent.
======================================================================================================================
durability is a talent - I hate that some teams hand out year end awards for that!! So, in othe words you get an award for having what your mother gave to you?! Sucks. -
As badass as Max is today, I shudder to think of the protocol that would cause him to completely shut down for over a year.
