Covering 40 miles a week is a lot for anyone, but can I do it at 75? My mileage consists of running, hiking, and walking. I’ve been averaging 30+ miles a week since the week of May 4th and have had some 35+ mile weeks. This week, though, I am at 30.44 miles on Saturday afternoon and I might just be able to get to 40 with enough Energize, Tailwind, water, and bars.<\/p>\n
The Runifyapp<\/a><\/strong> provides some perspective on running data taken from Strava<\/a><\/strong> and Statista<\/a><\/strong>. It says, “Survey data shows 43% of runners report averaging between 11 and 25 miles per week – the single largest weekly mileage band in the runner population. This range encompasses 3-4 runs per week of 4-7 miles each, which is the practical training range for runners targeting 5K through half-marathon distances. At the low end (11 miles\/week), runners complete approximately 572 miles per year. At the high end (25 miles\/week), they log roughly 1,300 miles annually.” I am at the low end because I only run 3-4 times a week, but this week, I could be at 18 miles – putting me right in the middle.<\/p>\n
