    This Week’s Training

    Week 20!  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.
