How good could someone get off of just this? What events could you compete at?
A) Run as much as physically possible, before you either start jogging instead of following your normal running mechanics or become overtrained.
B) 1-2 times a week, 50-100m hills with full recoveries.
C) 1-2 times a week, 20-50m Flies with full recoveries.
depends on the pace run for the other mileage
Ultras. Not enough intensity/specificity to excel at anything shorter.

Maybe 27:36.
Sounds like Cam Levins' training pre NOP
I did something similar when training for a marathon during a busy time in my life. With work and life I didn\'t have the mental energy to put in formal workouts. I did enjoy the higher mileage though as my downtime. Instead of workouts I would just add in long pick ups when I felt like it, surging to the end of the street for example, repeating that about 10 times in a 12 mile run.
I didn\'t go into the marathon with any high expectations and ran a 2 minute PR. I\'ve since added formal workouts and set a better PR, but for that training cycle I think the higher mileage made up for the lack of intensity. Do I think it would work for every training cycle? Probably not, but it worked then.
I can\'t say how it would work for shorter distances though.
Isn't this how Nenow used to train back in the day?
Set a few 10k records with that.

Faster Than easy pace, generally slower than LASS, picking it up as you feel it (a la Malmo).
