We are officially in the taper phase of this training block. It’s probably my favorite phase outside of the initial base building phase just kicking off because it’s full of excitement! The middle is eeh because you build your mileage and it’s often the mundane of long runs and mental testing. But all that said, getting to this point in training is extremely rewarding!
I’ve been mentally and physically challenged during this training cycle. From sleepless nights with the littles to stroller runs and lots of snacks, to life in general. Anyone that’s trained for long distance running knows it takes a lot. Not just from you but from those who are supporting you too (thankful for the hubby keeping the kiddos on Saturday mornings so I can do my long runs).
As we lead up to race week it’s all about recovery and backing down on mileage but keeping intensity… today we did an easy 3.63 miles | 36 minutes. That being said I’ve got speed work later in the week then an easy 8 miles this weekend. Then it’s Race Week! 😎
