Subject: RE: 1 Week to Marathon, 8 mile run? Yeah, probably. Run it. but run it easy. All your hay is in the barn. At this point, the last week of taper, you're just keeping the body moving so you don't surprise it on race day. There's no additional fitness that you can add. There's nothing in your training log, so we cannot really comment on how this compares to the volume you've done and where you might be fitness/fatigue wise. But, regardless, whatever you've got in those legs- will be waiting for you on race day morning. Good luck, and have fun. Oh, marathons hurt. enjoy the experience. I cried when I crossed the finish line of my first one (not sure if it was due to the pain, or the joy) |
