Marathon Training Week 15

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.
