In six days I will be running another half marathon. According to any training schedule I’ve read, last week should have been a pretty busy week of running for me. Instead, I followed my own program for the second last week before a half. Time will tell if it is a schedule worth keeping. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Saturday: run a half marathon at a 5:47 min\/km pace
\nSunday: nap
\nMonday: recovery day
\nTuesday: run a 2k race with two ten yr old boys (sounds easy, but they run faster than me)
\nWednesday: recover from the 2k
\nThursday: seriously consider running. Put your running gear on, run 100 metres, decide that a half hour walk would be much more enjoyable
\nFriday: recover from the walk
\nSaturday: sit on a deck looking at a lake. Be sure to snack wisely, include the important food groups of potato chips and brownies
\nSunday: sit in a cabin looking at a lake, continue with previous day’s nutrition program
\nMonday: spend three hours convincing yourself that you really should do something resembling a real run. Get out there and run 10k at race pace (yeah!) this will make you feel like you deserve a taper week!!<\/p>\n
Final week…haven’t really figured out how to taper after a week like last week, but I am sure I can find a way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
