Mileage of top high school runners: Cheserek , Montoya?

edward runs between 55-65 a week.

Montoya got up to 70 mpw last year.

Montoya up to 110 this summer, the highest I have ever heard of for a HSer of his caliber.

Wrong, he got over 100 mpw.

Seems like a big jump from 60-70 last year to over 100 this year. But you have to admire his work ethic.

He's screwed now. Forget it. He won't be anything special in college if he's already doing 12x400 at 60 pace and 100 miles per week. Just another example of a greedy coach burning a once in a lifetime talent out.

you're right

he should wait 3 years until he does that workout to get the same results he is getting now

No, I am right. Last year he was doing 70 mpw and this year he is doing 100 mpw. I hope it works out for him and he can drop some crazy fast times this year. I have seen the kid run and he can really blaze that last 400.

Why does everyone stress about this, the best mileage is the mileage your body responds to.

Maybe you should talk to Galen Rupp...

I know of two Youth athletes (one guy, one girl) who were top 3 in Canada in a middle distance event off very low mileage. The guy was 20-25miles/week and the girl was 15-25miles/week.

As a Canadian myself, I'll take a guess at the guy. McBride? Day?

Guy was Clifford.

Nice, a sample size of n=1.

Yeah but the standard deviation is 0! Talk about accuracy.

maybe you should use that tiny brain of yours to understand that there are many roads to the top, and the doing more at a young age = burnout and no improvement when older fallacy is bullsh!t

I've been athletes struggle with burnout after being interval-ed into the ground. Here's one example:

Grade 9: Multiple provincial titles, one national title, one national silver medal 9:55 3000m

Grade 10: One provincial title, one national 4th. 10:04 3000m

Grade 11: No provincial medals. 10:19 3000m

Grade 12: Quit
