Boston Marathon Training {Week 11 & 12}

Taper time has begun! I’m really taking this taper easy. I don’t want my knee to even be an issue in 20 days. Fingers crossed that it just needs a little down time.

SO here’s the rundown on the last two weeks of Boston Marathon training!

Week of March 16 – March 22 (48 miles)

Monday: 50 minute bike trainer, PT/core exercises, weights

Tuesday: 10 miler for my birthday (3 7=10) 6 strides

Thursday: 10 miles – 2 mile warm up, 3 at 1/2 marathon pace, 3 a little faster, 2 miles cool down. p.m. yoga

Friday: REST

Saturday: 18 miles – Boston Marathon preview run

Sunday: Easy 5 recovery miles, yoga

Week of March 23 – March 29 (43 miles)

Monday: 50 minutes bike trainer, PT/core exercises, weights

Thursday: 10 8 miles – cut short because of knee pain at mile 6., p.m. yoga

My peak week was definitely not as high mileage as I was hoping for. I wanted to go for a 22 miler, but the logistics of the race (and my knee) just didn’t allow it. Oh well, the hay is in the barn, right? It’s time to rest up for the big show.

How’s your life in running/fitness right now?
