There are only 3 long runs left until Twin Cities!!!! Congratulations you have made it through the worst of your training. Most of you have your longest training run this coming weekend, then your taper begins. For these last long runs, try adding some speed to your last few miles of the run. Running the final five miles or so at your estimated race pace (or better, a little faster than) will help your mind and your body prepare to run at pace when you are fatigued. Another option is to pick up the pace for the last five or six miles, and then continue to pick it up even more every two miles. This teaches your body to increase its effort when you are most fatigued.
Next week: Taper Time!
Happy running,
Genevieve
