Somewhere around the 22 minute mark, here

Bumbi says that the culture of the team has changed a little bit since Chris Solinsky left the team because no one hammers hard like him anymore. Solinsky was running 120 mile weeks while training for the 5K.
Wasn't Solinsky running that same mileage before training for the marathon? I feel like he said that in an interview when he was training.

... 120mpw is not unusual for elite 5k runners. Hell Farah and Kwemoi both run that (Kwemoi routinely more IIRC) and have near identical 1500 PRs, but Farah also dabbles in HM/M where Kwemoi does not.
I believe Solinsky acknowledged that he was injury prone when he moved up so he got by with what he could accumulate without getting hurt. Perhaps he was a quality over quantity guy by necessity 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Yep. Sol was putting in some intense training. His mileage was really more like mid to upper 140s at a minimum. Let's say he logged 20 miles of workouts (maybe a bit high), he'd still have 100 miles of running to be logged at 7 minute pace (700 minutes). But he was heading out the door at 5:30 pace those days. Do the math on how many miles you get running 700 minutes at 5:30 or faster.
