Training Tip 23 from Little Rock Marathon Coach Tom Singleton:
Welcome to the two hardest weeks of marathon training. The two weeks of taper prior to the race.
We're winding our mileage down and the big temptation, the hard part is to do the schedule, not do "Oh, I can get two more miles today or I could do five more today, or this long run is not long enough, I need a little more training because I missed one, a training session way back in March. It doesn't matter.
Stay the course. Run the training schedule the way it's written. Give your body time to rest and recover.
We want you to get to the start line healthy and ready to go, not worn out and over trained and tired.
Good luck!
