Are you reboring or just giving it a quick hone?

Well the amount of running in it will benefit from depends on the honing done to it, if its just a bit of a roughen up, by 100 miles there will be nothing left to run in from anyway.

If he isnt going to hone it either, it wont benefit from running in at all.
