8 - pretty routine at this point

Don't know what I will do exactly tomorrow. Thinking 16 for my laster long(er) run. Legs are starting to feel more fresh and less heavy. Don't know if I should push for some marathon pace miles tomorrow or not. Anyone have suggestions or thoughts on 2 weeks out from Ogden?

Sixteen is perfect. You could throw some marathon paced miles in, or even run a progression run. I think it's important not to overdo it, though. You don't need to test your fitness, now. It's not going anywhere!

Runner Academy has a podcast called "Perfecting the Taper." Might be worth a listen. They say it's their most popular episode.

Thanks Emily. I like the idea of a slight progression. I have had fun with those in the past but have not done one in a while.

That's a perfect suggestion. 15-16 w/ a progressive finish - enough to remind yourself that you are fit, but not enough to test yourself or take anything out of the tank.

Thanks Jake. I will plan on that. Trying to leave something in the tank this cycle like you have suggested. Feeling good about Ogden so far!
