In order to best assess work load in kilometers, it might be good to know how many workouts are done each week and at what paces.
18 spm Steady State workout meters cannot be seen as the same work load as 90% intervals...
But to answer your question... I'm guessing about 120-140k for elites is about right...
I am not convinced that many top coach say to their athletes: " Go out and row 115 k this week and 95 the next " and stuff like that...
