I am “sort of” at 29 runs and 191.39 miles as I am currently prepping for a 12 hour race in 11 days. At this point I am not enrolled though as I don’t want to chase that right now. Usually I average 11-13 runs a week with 80 miles (close to 3600 miles for the year) but will pull back the distance and keep up the intensity. 2 weeks ago 89 miles
Last week 68 miles
This week under 50
Then race week 20-25 during the week and then hopefully at least 70 on race day
That's exactly where I was at the end of GVRAT (85-90 mpw / 11-13 runs). Excluding that little 3600 miles bit, I'm right at 2000 for the year. I'd be closer to 2500 except for that pesky little surgery. I scaled back to 60 mpw after GVRAT (mostly single run days), to focus more on speed development.
ETA: I was pretty crushed at the end of GVRAT. Ramping up from OHS to 90mpw, in 3 months is probably not optimal. It took a while for the legs to come back around....and 12 weeks of iron supplements.
