re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Oh, and I don’t think you need to taper that much with your training volume. I would keep your long runs at 6 miles. Tapering for a half is really only needed if you have been training at higher weekly volumes (30+ miles) with long runs of 10 miles or more. The trick is to keep your base fitness while maximizing your energy reserves, allowing some recovery, and staying sharp.
