This is it, one week until the Boston Marathon. I had a good week of training and I'm feeling confident going into the final preparations for the race.
Monday I rested. Tuesday I ran 5x1000m cruise intervals with a 1:00 minute RI between each 1000. Wednesday I swam: 8 laps swimming followed by 2 laps kicking repeated 5 times. Thursday I ran 2 miles easy, 3 miles at 6:45, then 1 mile easy. Normally I would have rested on Friday, but the D.F.C.A. kid's fishing derby was Saturday morning, so I had to get a workout in. I rode the bike trainer for 40 minutes then immediately went for a 10 minute run. Today I did my last long run: 10 miles in 1:12, which is a 7:15 pace, 25 seconds below my goal pace.
This will be my last "Road to Boston" post. I'm planning on some 400s on Tuesday, swimming Wednesday and Friday, and around 4-5 miles Thursday. I will also run about 3 miles Sunday before the marathon. My next post on this subject will be my race report.
