Do lots of miles increase your speed? Some runners prefer to get mileage from long runs, others prefer short intense speed sessions. Or maybe something inbetween?

How many miles a week do you do?

I've currently averaging between 31-40 but this is across a 4 week period with 1 down week. On top of this I do a bit of biking, swimming, spin and weights.

I normally run 30 to 40 miles per week but in a bid to increase speed and reduce lard i've up'd it to 55+
Depends on what distance you're aiming at. Mine is marafun

I'm about 30 per week off the back of three-four training sessions. Looking to up this a bit with marathon training getting under way.

lately - about 20. bit rubbish, trying to get fitness back after layoff.

Currently 25-30, but increasing to 40-45 with marathon training.

Currently 20-25 running plus lots of bike miles.

I'm on 30-40 a week at the minute. Hoping to up the miles soon as I have a couple of half marathons targeted in spring.

Am currently around the 70mile+ mark on two runs a day, but hope to hit 100+ by the time Belfast comes around on 1st May.

Miles make champions (Lydiard)

Damn right should hit 62 miles this week

I used to think that too, but last year my training kept getting interrupted and I didn't get my usual mileage in... then took 17 minutes off my marathon time, and then a 9 off my half time... all on less mileage than normal.

At the moment I'm hovering around 40 a week, and with a little over 5 weeks til a marathon i'm usually at about 50+

If you can fit big (80+) a week in you will get lots fitter.
Don't neglect the speed work though!
