Subject: RE: Maximum Weekly Run Mileage I think some new runners can handle 50 mile weeks.
I ran one mary and if I remember correctly max week was in the 40 mile range. 12 miles was my longest run which was a big mistake because when my body ran out of fuel /electrolytes around Mile 18 and had to walk a little. I hit the wall hard and barely made it in under 3 hours. (Grandma's in Duluth, MN )
I would definately get some long runs in to see what type of nutrition your body is going to need and how it reacts once your running for more than 2 hours.
I consider myself a life long runner even though I skipped 9 years after a major surgery and didn't run a 10k for 15years, October 93 until July 08. I have never ran 6 times a month year-round in my entire life. I plan to this year. |
