Question about mileage progression

Bump

What was your peak mileage before this 30 to 100 mpw progression?

How much time off have you had before beginning?

I would be partial to building up volume more quickly and then adding intensity, especially the tempo, when you feel ready. You need to be able to handle your volume with workouts so go for volume first and slowely add in the intensity but not all at once. I wouldn't want to have done zero workouts for a month, be at 100, and then go full into workouts.

To answer your question : a little bit of both is best, but especially depends on what you're training for. My guess is most will say the intensity will have more value, but by reaching your peak miles more quickly you will have more weeks at peak mileage and intensity.

The progression I gave was just an example. I have run 80 mpw and will be attempting 90.
