You can “train” however you think is best for you but none of us are anywhere near the top talent. Don’t think just because they stick to a 3 hr time limit they aren’t still putting in volume. Camille herring has talked about this a lot. Turns out she may run three time a day and still hits 80-100 mile weeks. The top talent also have much more running history than you. They’re a lot more to finishing 100 milers and I think anyone can do it. Talk to some other people you may know that are on a similar level to you that have done them and get their ideas on training
Marathon is so much more just physical conditioning. 100 miler challenges you mentally. And then there’s the whole nutrition game. More than happy to talk with you about any aspect of it.

Got my last long run before okc in. Was aiming for 13 but cut it at twelve because I felt like complete a-hole. Hoping it’s just my body recovering from the sinus crap a week ago and not a larger problem.

I think the biggest thing that will hold me back on my 100 miler training is going to just be fatherhood. I've worked myself up to 50+ mile weeks at this point, it wouldn't be that huge of a stretch to get up to 90-100 during the 100 miler training; if I had the time.
I do plan to do at least 2-3 65+ mile weeks and at least one 40 mile day during the training... what that looks like I am not sure.
For now I'm pretty focused on the goal ahead of me (Rock n Roll) and I'll recalibrate after. Also plan to switch to a more vo2 Max focus for a few months to give my body a bit of rest.
I'm doing the 100 miler with 30 other people who are WAY less in shape than me, so I really can't talk to them about what to do (8 of them have finished a 100, but we are talking 32 hour finish times) and another coworker of mine does like 3 a year but he always looks for the hardest courses he can find and goes for it (and one of the three is always going to be over 100, this year he's doing a 200 miler). My other issue with my coworker is... he doesn't train, like at all
