I considered going to 20 mi today, just to hit 80 mi, but I don't want to go into another 70+ mi week worn down, want to keep up with quality workouts, not just slog through the days and risk injury.
My wife did her last 20 mile run before starting her taper for her first marathon. She will be doing the MCM. I have not run it before, and am a bit jealous, but I am very very excited to spectate, give her support, watch the other runners, have a great day, and not be drop dead exhausted at the end.
Nice week! What are you training for?
Going to try to BQ (need 3:10 ) in Philly Marathon in about 6-7 weeks. Based on my estimates from training using McMillan I am right at about 3:10, and its a bit too close for comfort. I am pretty much red lining the training from here to the end of the month and keeping my fingers crossed that my body holds up. For the race, the plan is to try to hold 7:10 pace. Figure the first 10 will be easy, the second 10 will be where I will just have to work hard to execute the plan, and the last 6.2 will just be how bad I want it. I am trying to not think so far ahead, and just get to the line healthy.
Ron, its her first marathon, so I told her the goal is to finish and have a good time, but my guess is 4:30 ish based on her training pace. I think you won't be hard to miss, so perhaps I'll see you at the finish. Congrats on the double marathon, every one of your challenges you complete is an inspiration, keep it up.
#353- 10 mi, 2 mi warm up, 8 mi LT (about 6:40 to 6:50 pace )
