What is high mileage for a runner?
High mileage is relative. For an elite, 100 miles per week is high mileage; but we are not elites. For most recreational runners, higher mileage is 40-60 miles per week. This itself is a large range since individual runners tolerate mileage differently based on genetics, injury history, schedule, and other factors.

Fitness gains level off between 70 and 120 miles while injury risk increases.
Is high mileage or necessary?
Reduced oil consumption: High mileage vehicles tend to leak and burn off more oil than younger cars due to degraded engine seals. High mileage oil rejuvenates degraded seals, which leads to less oil consumption and burnoff. Less engine sludge: Older engines tend to accumulate sludge left behind by other motor oils.
