Total Distance

AM: 9 easy + standard core routine, stretch, foam rolling

PM: 5 miles with mile 4 in 5:40 for a little hilly pick-up

Normal mileage today. Going with the "falling off the cliff" mini-taper for Sunday. It seems to have worked very well for me last spring. Basically I run normal mileage but the two days before the race I cut it down drastically so my body can recover. I feel this works much better for me physically and mentally than a gradual draw down for a tune-up race in marathon training. I'll probably run 5 or 4 tomorrow with strides, 4 or 3 with strides Saturday.

Smart. Too much of a taper and you'll feel stale and you also go several weeks left so you don't want to drop mileage too much. I prefer to have two easy days that are about 30-40% of my typical mileage as well. It's like being a good bit more rested for a hard workout.

Good luck. I think you will surprise yourself.
