I know it varies greatly from athlete to athlete, but does anyone have any statistics or guesses?

I seem to remember seeing a log of El G's base work that put him between 100-120 mpw during his base phase. Much of that mileage was done at a relatively slow pace.

so slow that world class athletes visiting him in ifrane could not keep up.
answer is anywhere from 60-120. in some cases (women) it can be lower.
I remember reading in some thread that El G would do 50 minute, 10 mile runs something like 5 days a week at altitude.

Ok, besides the super-human El G. what kind of base miles do most elite milers run? What about Webb, Leo, Lagat, and Lopez?
I believe Webb listens to an Everclear song on his ipod at a fairly loud volume. It could be medium though, I'm not too sure.
What's the running equivalent of Tadej Pogacar riding ~7 W/kg for 40 min?
JACOB and YARED, why won't either try to emulate Hicham's 1500m tactics?

Can we talk about how crazy hard this Olympic marathon course is?
