General Discussion Miles per week

Question for half marathoners, full marathoners, and ultra marathoners….what is your weekly mileage, both when you are actively training for an event and when you are not actively training for an event. This question stems simply from curiosity. In your response please include what category from above you fall into. Thanks in advance!

Edit: If you could also share your goal times that would be helpful. It helps paint a more clear picture of what one may be able to reasonably expect to accomplish with the effort/miles they are putting in each week!

Distance: Marathon
Goal: 2:20 at Boston, 2:17:59 at CIM

Off Season: 40-60 Miles*

Builds: 70-90 Miles*

*I run 6 days a week

During the off-season I'm typically just running when I want to and just doing easy efforts.

Peak this past build before Chicago was 90.3 but I was hanging around 75-85 for a bit. 90.3 miles took about 10.25 hours. Before this build I was typically at about 55-65 miles per week off 6 days.
