____________________________________________

Well we made it. We have one more group run coordinated for Tuesday then it the home stretch with the race happening this weekend. We finished last week with a nice easy long run of anything between 8.5-12miles. This Tuesday we will keep it easy and follow up with a quick discussion tapering and then the race itself for the “Race Review” clinic. See the race prep link listed above.

This Week’s Training

Week 21!  The last one!!!  Remember, we're in a taper, so all runs should be easy and light.  You will NOT increase any of your speed, endurance, or power by having strong runs this week.         However, you still need to get the same number of days, 3 or 4 this week, to keep your endurance in tune, and body loose. Refer to my earlier “Tapering” email for details.  EVERYTHING FROM HERE ON OUT IS EASY!!!

  • R/W Half – No changes – keep at 1/9 or 1/14 interval.  Taper into this weekend.
  • R/W Full – No changes – keep at 1/9 or 1/14 interval. Taper into this weekend.
  • Intermediate Half – No Changes.  Taper into this weekend.
  • Intermediate Full – No Changes.  Taper into this weekend.
  • Advanced Full – Taper into this weekend.
