 WEEK 16 HALF MARATHON + ‘SAINTS DAYS’ TRAINING PLAN STARTS TODAY
There’s not too much to do this week, as you are on the glide path to your half marathon race, except continue the taper. Don’t overdo the long run at the end of the week. You want to be prepared and fresh for the race. There’s an extra session scheduled for foam rolling this week. Use it to roll out sore and stiff spots on Wednesday or any other day. It can be a full session or an abbreviated one. If you are tempted to introduce new nutrition, shoes, gear, or apparel into your race preparations, be careful. There isn’t much time to truly test a new fuel strategy. The runs are not as demanding as earlier in the plan. Items worn on the upcoming shorter runs may not represent adequate trial runs. If you have not yet found an organized race to run on May 19 or 20, there will be a suggestion for an Earned Runs race featured in tomorrow’s post. RUN HAPPY!
