Marathon Training Week 12

We are home again!  I still need to do last week's recap, but here's this week's plan.

This is week 12 of training. After this week, race day will be one month away.

You'll have three easy runs and a tempo run. Your long run will drop back to 15 miles so that you can recover from the monster mileage that you've done in recent weeks.

This is a good week to check your fitness with a time trial. You’ll get a sense of how much fitness you’ve gained during training and be much better equipped to set realistic race goals.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Monday: 7 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Tuesday:  9 Miles w/5 miles at Tempo (pace 8:30)
Wednesday:  6 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Thursday:  Time Trial
Friday:  8 Miles Easy (pace 9:52)
Saturday:  13 Miles LSD (pace 10:04-11:04)

Total planned miles: 44
