Tapering for the Marathon
In just a couple of days I'll be running the marathon. I know, it's weird running a marathon on a Wednesday! Here in UT it will be Pioneer Day and there will be many races run here!
I've felt really good about my training and I hope race day goes well.
It seems the taper is sometimes the hardest part of training. Here are some articles for you to check out. I think I've been smart about not getting too lax, still having purpose on my runs. I want to pay attention to my eating these next couple of days... I've been feasting on way too much sugar these days! I want to make sure my fuel tank is full!
Today I ran a couple of miles at a nice easy pace, then did a mile of speed intervals. Tomorrow I'll just do a couple of easy miles at race pace. Go, fight, win!
