FROM Sweat Elite: Base training for David Rudisha’s training group involves quantity of around 50-60 miles per week (80-96km), lots of steady state running and a large focus on stretching and core stability work, to prepare them for the track work beginning in late February.
Bump
Seems about right, he has been focusing more on his endurance lately. He might move up to the 1500m.
It's from 4 years ago.
I doubt DR would move to 1500

Nope.
Rudisha already moved from the decathlon to the 400m then the 800m
My guess is that if he can't overcome his injuries and come back at world class level, he will just quit.
He did all that 10 years ago. Anyway, change of event is not the point.
The point is the mileage it seems he said he was doing - 60-70 miles per week not including warmups. The quote seems to have come straight from David.
It's likely 60-70k without counting warmups, so ~60mpw maybe?
That may be a good guess, but the OP is referring to a direct quote.
You're overestimating, as relatively few workouts have a warm up, most are just workouts. You are also forgetting six days training per week tops, plus down periods (rest weeks, tapers and build ups). Probably closer to 60 km / week overall. Similar to Brazier's best collegiate season volume.
Idiot.
Use your eyes and read what is written above your post, please.
Bump.be good to know.
