Ramping up mileage 35mpw to 60mpw through June

Bruh. You are just gonna injure yourself. 45 miles a week as an absolute max if your highest mileage is 30. No need to double it as you will injure yourself and will not break 17.

80 miles/ week senior college guy with a sub 15 5k.

P.S. Slow progression of increasing mileage is key.

If you've been at 30 mpw for a long time, you could probably get away with just jumping straight to 40 or so, but after that, just add a few miles every few weeks. If you are actually dedicated, keep your normal runs the same length and start doubling 3 or 4 times a week. Keep them short, so your weekly total doesn't jump up too drastically, but after your body gets used to those doubles, you have more runs to slip a few more miles in to.

Thanks for the advice. I'd rather be a tad bit slower than completely ruined due to an injury.

I'm also thinking about swimming a couple times a week. Could I do this in replace of 10 or so miles a week and still get the same cardiovascular benefit?

At about that age I was able to make big jumps in mileage, and for me those corresponded to big PRs. But a jump in mileage like that needs to come on gradually throughout a summer of training.

You also need to look into a lot of stability drills and core to stay injury free. It's a big shock to your body.

That being said, you may not need that much mileage if you get big jumps off of 50.

Thanks for that! Definitely gives me confidence! I hit 36 miles last week and plan to go 42 48 40 52 and just stay around that with an occasional easy week

My mileage this summer so far has gone 32,33,35,44,43,47,53. I'm feeling way more cardiovascularly in shape. I've also done lots of trail runs. I did a 7 mile trail run yesterday that ranged from 4700ft to 5600ft so a pretty hard climb. I live at 4300 so it's not much higher for good elevation training though.

I've done lots of strides and a couple 6*500m hill repeats. I've lifted some but am going to start lifting more tomorrow.

Ran a race on the 4th(my 43mile week) and got 18:01. I'm sure I could drop at least 30 seconds from that right now. I'm also doing a 1600m time trial AT SEA LEVEL in two weeks!

Any suggestions to my training?

I'm also in the same boat that you are in! I just haven't timed myself for any race distance yet. So far im at about 45 mpw. :)

16 minute 5k is like a 5:10 mile.... That seams so fast considering my best mile is 4:57. I hope that doubling my mileage has helped
