I'm definitely not hitting the same miles, though I may try to get closer next year. Last year I peaked at 40 miles, and it damn near killed me. This year my injury was after sustained 30 mile weeks, but that wasn't specific to weekly miles but rather muscle/form issues. I'm hopeful I can push past that plateau. A lot of marathon training plans max at 40 miles. These are the plans for people googling "marathon training plan" and not elite or serious experienced runner plans. For me I think if I'm doing a lot of cross training, 40 miles is an acceptable peak. I might buy a Garmin 935.
