Just need 20 more miles in two days for 100 miles

I have only been running for 8 months but I was at 16:11 for a 5K after 4 months of training and I am training for cross country and I am going to tell you that your 100 Miles per week is useless at 8:00 to 8:30 Mile Pace. I have been training at 5:20 to 5:30 Mile Pace and I average 60 to 65 Miles a week and I am only getting quicker. You should do 75 Miles a week at 6:45 Pace and I promise you, you will PR your 5k time by 1:20 seconds.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You don't know pace. Your training pace is ~10 seconds slower than your race pace?

You should never give advice again.

Do you realize that just because you haven't gotten injured after bumping your mileage up for a FIVE F'ING DAYS doesn't mean that you won't, or that you're somehow an exception to human physiology?

I can guarantee you, if you continue training the way that you are, you are going to be stuck in an injury cycle that will get you nowhere.

You are training like a madman. Don't be surprised or act like you don't know why when you become sick and injured in the coming weeks.

You are not some superhuman with an irregular ability to sustain mileage.

Just because you stop posting and youre a dumazz are slow does not mean this guy is slow actually he knows what he is talking about I know plenty of guys who can run 5:20 Miles if you two slowpokes read Runners Are Great post you will realize that he was running low 16s off of 4 months of training so he has a lot more talent and probably better pr's then both of you so shut your duma$$e$ up.

I make $650,000 a year, run 120 miles a week, and jogged a 13:50 last week.

Awesome, brah. I rake in a cool 3.2 mill every annum and at just 60 mpw I ran a 12:52 last month on my local track. I plan to show my talents to the rest of the world in like a year if I feel like it, which I have to ability to decide because I'm so f***ing rich, powerful, and athletic. All y'all other haters are just pathetic.

First, congrats. A 100 mile week won't necessarily make you better but it is a milestone, like finishing a marathon. Good for you to keep at it, hopefully you are keeping healthy by running more.

Second, you say you are an adult but you write like how a 16 year old talks.

Third, now drop the mileage to 60-70 a week and pick up the speed. Running 8:30 miles for 100 miles a week is a lot of time out on the run.

Why do these forums attract so many horrible human beings?

give it four or five weeks at that level and the times will start coming way down, but you'll be hurting in weeks two and three. just stay the course and add in the workouts later. for the time being, just run by feel and if you feel good, do progressions, i.e. getting faster as you go along.

Alright, I am calling BS on this thread and here is evidence from a thread you posted last month.

You said you were running for 40 minutes a day at 8min/mile pace which adds up to 35mpw. For you to increase to 100 at 8.30 pace would take two hours a day of running. So, in five weeks, you have increased your mileage by 65 miles a week.

You said you were following Ed Whitlock's training method and he does not use mpw. In your previous thread, you said you were training like this since March or April but you now say you started in June. You also said you would not increase from 40 mins a day for another month.
