       | week was maintenance mileage, about sixty the most when training
       | for a marathon. I doubt I topped 2500.

         | about 56 miles a week, or 2900 miles a year (with no days off).
         | Definitely doable. Now I'm lucky if I run 10km a week.

           | My Strava feed used to have a few people who averaged 100
           | mi/week, but the number has been dropping as age, work, and
           | family sets in.

       | Good read, I enjoyed it. I'm a cyclist, but was interested to see
       | my training time is 1:1 with the author. I spent 255 hours on the
       | bike in 2023, but got over 5k miles and a half-million feet of
       | elevation thanks to rolling.
