As the miles tick down in the taper, so do the weights in strength training. I did my last heavier lift last week in week 3 before the half and this week kept it to mostly body weight or low weight exercises (ie this 20 lb kettlebell). My goal is to let my muscles recover in these last 2 weeks before the half but not to feel flat when I get to race day. I’ll do an upper body workout this weekend and then I won’t be touching a weight again until after race day!
Last big workout of the training cycle ✅ getting excited to race and now just down to the logistics of it all; I forgot how much work goes into that piece 😅
What a beautiful day for a run! Sun was shining, birds were chirping, and although it was windy, it felt good to have the cool breeze! New shoes also led to happy feet feeling extra cushioned again 😍
Pretty sure the weather this week decided to just prepare me for any sort of condition on race day. High winds, 80’s, 40’s, 93% humidity, rain...we’ve had it all! Closed out the week with 48.7 miles and I’m ready to start the taper 🙌🏼 had a rough few runs earlier in the week but prioritized recovery and went into things on the weekend with a good mindset and things felt smoother again. It was a good reminder that bad runs happen but we get to choose how we deal with them and they don’t need to define a whole cycle of training. It’s easy to get down on ourselves after a few tough runs in a row but belief in ourselves is so much more powerful and can help us overcome.
