I am in a position to have know many good runners during my years. Not one of them ran 100 miles per week, never mind an additional 100 miles of jogging on top. One 28 minute 10k man ran only 50miles per week.

I think the thing is with you Tim W, you are obsessed with mileage at the cost of all other aspects, and are consequently making all the same mistakes as Arthur Lydiard.
Proof?

You're getting like a broken record on that one CL!!
