Tapering is always so weird for me! I enjoy the lower mileage and having more time for other things (like rest!!) but then I feel like I’m not doing anything to prepare for the marathon. I know rest is best but it’s a mental game over here for me. I’m feeling really good about my training right now, though. I had an overall pace of 9:53 for my 10 miles and I felt great the whole time! I can’t belive we’re already 2 weeks out from the marathon?! This time will fly!
That's an awesome last double digit run! It felt so weird to only run 4 miles this morning but I'm not going to complain about extra sleep at all.
ReplyDeleteIt has been feeling really strange to run such short runs. I am definitely enjoying the break, though!
