100+ mile weeks are not that hard. It all depends on how fast you run them. There's a world of difference between running them at 8 minutes a mile and 5-6 minutes a mile. I've run multiple months of consecutive 100 mile weeks, but mostly at a gentle pace. I wouldn't call that pushing myself.

I do agree that many Olympic runners have a gruelling training regime though.

I have peaked out at mid 70 and 80 weeks but a portion of that was hard and/ speedwork. You must have lovely biomechanics to not get hurt with that much bulk even at 8 minute pace. Still hard for 99.9%+ of people. But anyways...
