Charlotte Marathon Training - RACE WEEK! (Week 18 of 18)

RACE WEEK!!!

Week Beginning Thoughts: Nothing like a crazy week of work travel to distract from taper madness.

Yep.
Monday
Planned: strength
Did: nothing

Tuesday
Planned: 4 m run
Did: #10kTuesday! 6.21 mi @ 9:16/mi avg
Working from home due to work travel, ran my 10k through the neighborhood between conference calls. This felt oddly hard for such a slow pace... hoping it's just the hilly 'hood that got to me!

Wednesday
Planned: 3 m run
Did: 3.0 mi treadmill progression run
Did this one between work event and evening reception at the hotel (traveling for work). Progression run with mile splits of 9:08 / 8:11 / 7:07. Didn't feel like enough, but I'm trusting my training.

Thursday
Planned: rest
Did: rest
Yep, sat in a conference all day.

Friday
Planned: 2 m run
Did: 2.0 mi @ 9:02/mi treadmill
Final run before the marathon! Knocked these miles out on the hotel treadmill despite staying out at the bar last night.
"Whoa... last run?!"

Elevator door selfie. Feeling good.
Saturday
Planned: Novant Health Charlotte Marathon
Did: 26.53 mi @ 8:16/mi avg moving pace
Race report here

Saturday
Planned: rest
Did: definitely rest
