Interesting that you posted this. I bonked on my last long run, which was supposed to be 18 on Labor Day. I only got in 7. My plan called for 10 tonight - do you think I should do the 10 or cut it back to 7 or so given that last week's long run wasn't actually very long? At this point, the hay's in the barn, but I'm a bit nervous about going into race day having my last actual long run being 4 weeks out. Thoughts?
I personally do not subscribe to a long taper. I will continue with pretty normal training regimen until the week of the race. I would stick with whatever plan you have chosen to go with and stick with it though. I plan on getting 8-11 hours in this week with a couple of higher intensities early in the week. Next week I will do something almost everyday including day before race. I just won't be out killing myself or doing intervals. |
