Met him a couple years ago at Hardrock, nice guy. Totally believe the modest MPW. I've never done a 200 nor would I want to, but running fitness/talent really takes a backseat to all the extraneous factors involved such as sleep deprivation/planning and hydration/fueling, just to name a few.
How do you run 200 miles if you only do 60 miles per week? It would take you 3 1/3 weeks.
I think the talent pool targetings these 200 mile races are very shallow. People are walking, stopping, eating, drinking, it's not really a run.
It's nothing about pace/VO2max or other running related data. It's really pure muscle endurance.
This is pedestrianism. Def not running
I would win them races if I done them
Kouros never did big miles training. You need your rest after a long race.

In that case Courtney Dewaulter is one of the best two-sport athletes of all-time.
"won all three 200 mile races"?
Fun but not always running. You know?

So true. Real question is how much does he hike per week? That would be the best training.
Call ultra races whatever you want, they’re still extremely difficult.

So is knitting but that doesn't make it the same as a race.
Ultra races have a start and a finish and awards based on Your time. Idk that sounds like a race to me.

So does spartan, racewalk, and potato sack races. Still doesn't mean they should be in the same category as a running race.
PRECEDENTED ?
So, it's been done before.
They’re not in the same category, they have those categorical prefixes to differentiate that.

Your posts feel like you're threatened by anything outside of your frame of reference.
60 miles per week is plenty for an ultrarunner.
And just keep in mind that 200 mile races are not very contested.
Just as a reference, the 24 hour world record is 188 miles done by a guy who ran 80 miles per week. Of course this was on a flat track with ample support. And you can't really compare these two events.
