Normally, you start with week 1 then do week 2 and so on all they way until the last week which is the week of the race. Reverse tapering or going into another training cycle, we learned, should be accomplished by redoing your last week of your training plan then doing the week before it and the week before that (ex: week 15, then do week 14, then week 13, etc). Make sense? If not, I can try to explain it differently. <br /><br />Hope you are enjoying your taper and are getting psyched for your first full (I was looking back at my posts that I wrote right before my first half and noticed I spoke of you often because you and I were doing our first halfs the same day!!). We've both come a long way in year!!! So excited for what's next for you ;)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272176225604913726.post-47285042292831181682011-10-02T14:58:38.421-04:002011-10-02T14:58:38.421-04:00Great job on your run!Great job on your run!Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272176225604913726.post-78387970940933410652011-10-02T10:50:45.290-04:002011-10-02T10:50:45.290-04:00Good job!

I often need a pep talk to get myself at the door for runs - Friday's run (which turned out to be one of my best ever runs) was that way. I actually used the "you never regret the ones you do, only the ones you don't do" line that is quoted weekly around the blogosphere to get my butt moving. <br />Glad you got it done and enjoyed the change up. I don't do speed work like you, but the speed work that I do is fun and I enjoy it a great deal (usually more once it's done than actually during - ha!)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272176225604913726.post-46943045906346253522011-10-02T00:34:55.206-04:002011-10-02T00:34:55.206-04:00You know, I do most of my speedwork (when i do it)...You know, I do most of my speedwork (when i do it) on the TM also as it is more convenient and ensures that I hit my pace goals. I love it. Lately though, I haven't done much speedwork since I am training for an ultra and I feel like the only time I get injured is when I do speedwork. Not scientific of course, and not even conlusive I guess, but it's a good excuse that works for me. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569950702355094761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7272176225604913726.post-52302564245070384502011-10-01T22:57:33.817-04:002011-10-01T22:57:33.817-04:00Honestly, I usually do them on a treadmill, which ...Honestly, I usually do them on a treadmill, which probably isn't the best thing to do but it is the best way for me to time them. I've never done 6 miles worth of a speed workout, though. Normally I just run 800s or something. I went to the track with some friends a few weeks ago and we did one, though, it was pretty interesting and a great way to switch things up.<br /><br />Good luck with getting in your runs with the days getting shorter, at least you don't have much longer until the marathon!<br /><br />A.L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
