I've had a few 200 mile weeks, but mostly not. Even though I steadily built my total mileage over the years, most of it's been from lots of little rides. I mean, little, like 12-18 miles. Then, for a while I also did lots of 35-50 mile rides on weekends. Now the weekends tend to be 20-40, with a few 50 milers thrown in. Last year was the first year in 5 I did not do a metric. I think it's because I never really train for these longer rides... I just do them, the end is always painful. Last year I increased my total mileage a lot by doing one 25-45 mile ride during the week, plus the weekends, and also doing lots of short (10-12 mile) before work rides. I do work on getting my speed up (to my normal slow speed ) in the beginning of the season, but this year, I am setting no expectations, as I don't know what my schedule will be like when I start working. It was fun working toward a goal up to a certain point, and i passed that stage awhile ago. But, I still get a little adrenaline, when I am riding with others. I do a good deal of riding with others who are slower, don't ride as far, as me, so maybe that gives me a false sense of superiority!
I know that to my "normal" friends, what i do is nuts, so it helps to put it all in perspective. To the OP, there's nothing like illness or injury to put this in perspective.
