I decided to try a marathon simulated run this morning and it worked out pretty well. I ran from my house down to the trail until I hit 6 miles and back. The weather was prefect running weather. It was about 44 degrees with some light rain. I ran the first 2 miles slow, then picked up the pace averaging 8:30 for the entire run. I felt good but was tired for most of the day. My plan is to start a 2 week taper after my long run this Saturday. I'm not sure how far I should go. Any suggestions would be apprectiated. |
