Running Log: Week Fifteen

With the snow storm hindering my running two weeks ago, this turned out to be my biggest week. I found it surprisingly easy - I guess my legs are used to this kind of mileage at this point. Thursday's run was tough as I felt I was on the edge of an injury, but having run since then I don't think it did any real damage.

Day	Scheduled Run	Actual Run
Sunday	35km steady	36km
Monday	12km recovery	12km
Tuesday	22km hilly	27km
Wednesday	10km recovery	10km
Thursday	15km with intervals	16km
Friday	Rest	Rest
Saturday	12km recovery	14km
Total	103km week	114km week

Training Program: Week Sixteen

Here it comes - the taper is on its way. I can't really count an 80km week as taper, but it gives me three rest days compared to one, which is all I've had for the last few weeks.

The runs are still intense though - the real taper isn't here yet - but it's close. I can almost taste it!

Day	Scheduled Run
Sunday	30km comfortable
Monday	Rest
Tuesday	18km comfortable/tempo
Wednesday	15km recovery
Thursday	15km with 8x3min intervals
Friday	Rest
Saturday	Rest
Total	78km week
