    100 MPW will require regular rolling and stretching, very specific nutritional habits, and at least 9 hours of sleep daily--and you're devoting over half of every day to running.

    How do you come up with this?

    Seriously, fairly certain the kid has to sleep no matter what, and eating is probably going to happen also. So basically you're turning two hours of running another half hour of stretching and rollering into 12 hours because she'll need to sleep and eat too. ???????????????

    Lazy people are never going to run mileage, so they have to come up with endless rationalizations why it's bad for you.

    I'm her coach. The mileage is legit, doesn't include anything from soccer. It wasn't prescribed by me, she does a good chunk of it on her own in the afternoons, and I couldn't stop her. All I could do, once I realized the amount she was running on her own, was monitor it closely, and make sure she was taking care of herself. Never seen a girl as physically fit and aerobically fit as her. She's handling it just fine, and it's backed down now that school has started. But boy has everybody freaked out about it. Calm down, people, calm down.

    Maybe the coach is getting guidance from Alana Hadley's dad? He's the only other coach I know stupid enough to have a HS kid run 110-120 mpw.

    Slow people have to make themselves feel special so they just train a lot because they never perform on race day.
