This week is the start of my 3-week tapering period before the big race. I finished the last of three 20-milers on Sunday. I'll summarize my performance in these runs:
20-miler #1 (August 13): Average 9:53 / mile
20-miler #2 (August 27): Average 9:46 / mile
20-miler #3 (September 10): Average 9:22 / mile
When I run the marathon, I'm targeting 9:00 / mile, so these training runs are right where they should be. Until October 1, I'll keep following the training plan, and I think I will reach the starting line confident and ready to fly!
