Certainly not for 50K races...and arguably not for 50-mile events, either. Only one fellow in our running group -- which includes a number of overall and age division champs --regularly breaks the 100 mile/week mark. As for me -- an average runner -- I've completed ~50 ultras and have never logged a 100-mile week, except during those weeks when I run a 100-mile race.
