This was a week where I stressed about how beat up I felt from the previous peak week. I was hoping to feel better than I did and stressing about it just made it worse. I slept badly which I know delayed the recovery I needed so badly.

After a talk with my coach, I skipped the planned Friday workout.

On a positive note, I started "heat" training this week and have a lot more planned during the taper. Heat training in Cincinnati, Ohio during April means somedays it will be 80º and I can add a long sleeve and rain jacket and other days it will be 50º and I need to put on a minimum of four layers to get the same effect. I do wish I had easy access to a sauna or hot tub. Those methods sound much more enjoyable and supposedly will cause the same adaptations.

Less than two weeks to race day!

My peak volume week! 94 miles 😅 Less than half of what I will do in three weeks! The good news is that I'm feeling strong after this week and I made it through the gauntlet without injury (knock on wood). It's time to wrap this training up with a bow.

My Three Day Training Camp

For my DIY training camp, I focused on long back-to-back-to-back runs with intentional short sleep and controlled efforts. With only 23 days until race week, this was my last big training effort. I think it went pretty well.
