Not exactly a “taper” week, but it was easier than most weeks have been. I will take what I can get and I still have two weeks to settle down. I felt pretty good this week which is a confidence booster.
Taper Week 1
Monday: 9 miles DONE
Tuesday: 8 miles
Wednesday: 6 miles
Thursday: 8 miles (5 tempo)
Friday: 6 miles
Saturday: 8-10 miles
Sunday: NONE
Total: 47 miles
You know I am tapering when I schedule a rest day.
As of now, that is how the week is looking. Taper week 2 will be even less. Maybe somewhere around 30 miles or less? I’ll figure it out once I get there.
I seriously have butterflies in my stomach. I can’t believe I am running the Chicago Marathon in 13 days!

Good luck surviving taper hell. Maybe this is the perfect time to cook some new, complicated recipes to get your mind off not running so much.
Tapering is going to be tough but it is SO necessary. Find something to distract you for the next couple of weeks and rest those legs. 13 days and this will all be over!
+1 to chelsea. good luck surviving it. but it will sooooooooo be worth it in 13 days!
Woah the big day is less than 2 weeks away! So exciting! Smart to take a rest day. Your body with thank you
eh, no big deal. i’m personally a two-week taper person myself so i think you’ll still be fine.
this week and next you have no excuses for bad grades with all this extra study time
