I really can't believe I'm less than 2 weeks away from Marathon #2! With all the concerns with my Dad's health (he's doing a lot better as of today) I'm afraid training hasn't been as focused as it should have been for the past 6 weeks. I'm ready to put this one behind me and take some time to just run for the pure love of it again!
This is week 15 of training. After this week, race day will be one week away.
This week you'll really start to feel the effort drop off, as you have three easy, short runs, a tempo run, and two days of rest, and your long run will be just 12 miles. As tough as it may be, resist the temptation to do more--you've done all the hard work of training to get fit. Now's the time to let your body adapt to the training stresses so that you can show up at the starting line strong, energized, and ready to run your best.
