5 Days To Starved Rock
Five days to the Starved Rock Marathon. Did my last semi-long run today (12.5 miles). The marathon is still intended as a good training run, so I won't be doing a major taper. I will be cutting down on the mileage a bit in the next four days, but generally, I am training through the marathon. My main goal is to run a solid race and come out of it healthy. I want to be able to go out the next day and still have a decent run, maybe a little bit stiff and/or sore, but comfortable with a good four to six miles. So what time goal can I expect and not have knocked myself out? I feel I should be able to get in around four hours and basically have had a fairly easy time. Although, deep down, I would like to be sub 3:55, which would be a Boston Qualifying time for my age. This would be in case I might want to try to take the trip there next April. No matter what I actually run, I am looking forward to Saturday and want to have fun.
