This ties back into w...Danny, thanks for the help.<br /><br />This ties back into what I wrote a couple weeks ago in which I'm at a point where I (in some cases very clearly in others just figuring it out) know that my approach isn't well-thought-out enough.<br /><br />I was thinking taper (except for 1 last hill type run), take only 2 nice, easy 3-mile runs next week to rest up for this 10k, like my last taper week before my marathon. (Normally, even if I was going to try to smash my PR, I'd train through a 10K and not think twice about it.)<br /><br />Treating it as a training run, are you suggesting keeping more to my regular mileage? (I probably am due for what would be a step-down week if were actually on my marathon training program yet)<br /><br />Like my complete lack of speedwork, I don't do a good enough distinguishing my long, slow runs from my tempo runs until I formally start back on my fall marathon training program. (When I was on my program for Shamrock, I was doing 3-4 or "regular" runs of 6-8 miles during the week, which probably served as my tempo runs, and then a longer, slower distance on Saturday or Sunday.)<br /><br />I've done great (for me!) in grinding out the miles in June, but not as well in adding complexity to my routine. (Speedwork, more core, lifting, cross-training.)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814804554194390618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814082344307223103.post-34053346966749213952011-06-16T16:35:21.664-04:002011-06-16T16:35:21.664-04:00Goodluck!
If next weeks 10k is a 'training ra...Goodluck!<br /><br />If next weeks 10k is a 'training race', then I'd skip the 'taper'. You need the miles, and the 10K would basically accomplish a good tempo run (which are usually run while in 'training' not 'taper' mode). <br /><br />Good job on all those 10 milers! I trust you're doing 2 and 4 mile 'recovery' jogs in between those tens, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
