Sounds impresive doesn't it.
In reality, its only 5km a day. Some of the best mids would run 3 days worth in 1 game.
Our AFLW twins Sarah and Jess Hosking ran a marathon last year and i reckon they probably would've doubled that output over the same period.
The players male or female cannot exclusively run as they would waste too much, lose what they have gained, they have a lot of other sessions they need to complete, but this is during a break so it's a pretty reasonable effort! Probably at least 6 to 8 days during that period would be leg days in weight sessions, there would no little or no running and not much the day after as it slows tissue repair and increases the risk of soft tissue injuries. So weight days you get warm up jogs maybe, the day after light runs only perhaps with some skills work.
