Question

Is it possible,for an average 12 year old,to run 100 miles in 2 weeks?

Answer 1

sure if that 12 year old is on steroids.

i usually run somewhere around 40 miles in 2 weeks

Answer 2

yes but only if they are in good conditioning.

its about 8 miles a day.

Answer 3

well, the average 12 year old in america is obese, so running 100miles in 2 years would be a challenge.

if you are trying to do this, i'd try to run 10miles one day, 5miles the next.  in 2 weeks that will work out to about 100miles.  if you try to go 7 miles every day, you won't get enough rest for your body to recover.

Answer 4

AVERAGE 12 year old?

probably not.

EXTREMELY SKILLED AND GIFTED 12 year old?

no problem.

Answer 5

If you've been running and are fit then sure.  

But if not, you can get very injured.

Answer 6

It is completely possible.

I ran that amount at the age of 12 quite easily and a few of my cross country teammates did as well. Our coach gave different colored visors to runners based on how many miles they ran each week so I chased after the 70 mile visor given mainly to varsity runners.

I was really tired most of the time and not up for running our weekly track workouts. I always had "dead legs".

It would probably be OK for you if the 50 miles that you are running each week is part of a training program designed by an experienced coach for a specific purpose.

It is 100% doable by most fit runners your age.

Answer 7

very easy 7.somethin miles a day is very easy...expecially if u do 4 in the morning and 3 in the evening

Answer 8

yes thats really not that far   plus ive seen some incredible 12 year olds

Answer 9

no way for an average tweleve year old since their all fat, but if you're fast it should be no problem.

Answer 10

No, not for an average 12 year old. It's possible for an above average 12 year old to run that much.
