I feel some folk are not pushing themselves to run so target paces maybe low into jog zone. For me, the fastest sustainable daily 30 min rate would be above 6:40 per mile. As my experiment 2 years ago, 30 days 6:25 was sustainable for only 20 minutes.
Maybe...but, to quote DD, "its Easy to run too fast, its hard to run too slow." (or something to that effect)
You've been running a lot, for a long time, at a pretty fast pace. You've demonstrated that you can do that without injury. Lots of people can't---but, only figure that out AFTER getting injured.
For the majority of people that aren't on the front page of the standings...I don't think your recipe would end well after 100 days. For most people they will be better served by running as slow as necessary to be able to run again, and again, and again...for as high of a completion percentage as they can manage.
Other than as a stupid human trick, I'm not sure that just finding the fastest average pace one can sustain for 100 days in a row is very useful either. ((ETA: not that there's anything wrong with stupid human tricks.))
