Running Week in Review – 09/24/06

This was week two of my taper for the Akron Marathon.  My left Achilles tendon continued to be sore during my first mile of running.  It has not hurt my training, but I hope it does become an issue during the marathon.  I ran at tempo pace for two miles during one of my runs this week.  The remaining miles this week were at an easy pace. 

There are only six days until the marathon.  My focus during the upcoming week is rest. 

• Tuesday 9/19 – Strength training
• Wednesday 9/20 – 6.1 miles – 49:11 – 7:58/mile pace – Run included 2 miles at a tempo pace of 6:55/mile
• Friday 9/22 – 5.1 miles – 45:15 – 8:47/mile pace
• Saturday 9/23 – Strength training + 4.2 miles – 38:29 – 9:10/mile pace
• Sunday 9/24 –  9.3 miles – 1:20:34 – 8:40/mile pace

Mileage for this week was 24.7

Year to date mileage is 1003.4
