4 miles in 29:30, 7:22/mi, HR 147.

4 days out.  Muscles tired from yesterday's run and core workout but other systems appear to be fine.  Extra sleep helping me feel more refreshed.  No sluggishness yet so perhaps the abbreviated taper is working well.

I was wondering if you were going to do a taper. However running 60 mile in a week is a taper.

What does the weather predictions or the race.

Yup, I'm doing a 2 week Peak instead of a traditional taper. Week 1 is a 25% mileage cut (to around 65) and a slight intensity increase. Week 2 is another 25% cut (%50 total to around 44) for the days before the marathon, with just easy running for the last couple of days.

Weather is supposed to be perfect but forecasts are notoriously unreliable this time of year. Keeping my fingers crossed....

I am looking forward to hearing about your race.
