Race week this week! Also going to be a reduced-mileage/taper week as my body surely could use the rest. Looking at doing something along the lines of the following... Monday: 4 miles AM slow, 4 miles Noon at 7:00 pace or slower. Circuit/Weights.
Tuesday: 6 miles easy (7:30 pace or slower) Wednesday: 5 miles with 2 miles tempo in the middle at HM pace (6:15-6:40). Thursday: 3 miles easy. Friday: 0-2 miles easy. Saturday: Striders 1/2 marathon!!!! Going to treat this race differently than the past few races and not set any Gold/Silver/Bronze goals. My only goal is to take some risks and go out a bit more aggressive than usual, try to hold a 6:00-6:15 pace on the downhill first 8 miles of the course then try and hold on for dear life and hopefully have a PR type race. Probably a recipe for crash-and-burn but what the heck.
