Another solid week out on the roads. I have less than a month until the Chicago Marathon, so I plan to keep mileage lower until the big day. I hate to say it, but my body is starting to feel the effects of hardcore training for the past few months. I am a little bit tired and my body has some aches and pains, but who wouldn’t be tired training for a marathon? Hopefully this is normal. Maybe taper won’t be too bad then?
Upcoming Week
Monday: Easy run (done, but hellish; more on that later)
Tuesday: Easy run
Wednesday: MP run
Thursday: Semi-long run
Friday: Easy run
Saturday: 18 miles
Sunday: Shuffle
I need a break from speed work this week so I put a MP run in there instead. I’ve been diligent about it lately so it shouldn’t hurt me. Right now I just need to work on maintaining fitness.

great running and it’s definitely normal (or at least that’s what ppl told me) to feel a little run down at this point. the taper will take care of it when you get there. you’ve been working so hard and been running so well lately (as always)!
yes, 85 miles is so low
i certainly hope you will be able to hold yourself back during a taper!
