As PAOLDSCHOOL said. The trick with flats is learning to work smarter instead of harder. It's reasonable to complete between 2300-2700 miles a week. The difference is how you feel at the end of the week. I've seen guys start out and burn themselves out in a couple months. Learn every safe trick you can to conserve yourself so you can run for two or three weeks and enjoy your down time instead of feeling exhausted when you walk in the door.....
Good luck to you.....

I remember the bus dropping me off at the gary bus depot, and this was the look on my face as the bus left me there

I had to call this guy up and he came and picked me up in the roehl van and took me to the Gary Inn, which back then was the Inn of America.
I was relieved the hotel was big step up over the bus terminal LOLS ! -
I remember that too, flew into Chicago, then took the bus to the bus station on Indianalpolis Blvd. Same deal, then called Roehl, and they came and picked me up. That made for a long half hour waiting...
