I can't remember if you've posted it here or not, but what does your marathon prep/tapering look like? When do you start to taper? Etc...

I peaked my miles three weeks ago with a long of 20miles. The next week it was 13miles. This past weekend only 8miles. This week, my runs will only be 2miles, with the race on Sunday. I know this is what I need to do, but I feel like I need to be out there doing something!

I special order a running...........ummmmmm..........undergarment, and I just got confirmation that it's out of stock and would be several weeks before I can get one. This throws a huge glitch in my plans!!! I'll see if I can track down another one somewhere. I can't run without it.

I am watching dr 90210 and it is another plastic train wreck too!
These two doctors are married to each other and he doesn't want to take time off for the birth of his first child, in fact he doesn't even want to be at the birth!

I am in the middle of the taper crazies!!! No workout today. I am so chomping at the bit. No relief in site either. Wednesday is an easy 2m, Thursday possible swim, Friday rest, and Saturday an easy 1.5m. It's about enough to drive one crazy!!!

stellaluna--very well put! Yup. That's exactly where I am. I ran an easy 2m this morning. That was barely enough to get me warmed up. I know it's what I am supposed to be doing but my body is wanting more!

Has anyone done any hill training program? I want to do the Pikes Peak marathon next year. It's 13 miles one way, with a 6500 ft gain in elevation, then, back down. The other challenge is the altitude because the peak is at 14100 ft. I've hiked it, but didn't ran...mostly fast walk.
I live in the prairies where the highest elevation is the old garbage dump, lol. Lately, I've been setting the treadmill on an incline of 5 to 6. I'm not sure what that translate to. I'll probably check all the running forums but I'm wondering if anyone here has every tried hill training. I do it very slow to prevent injury. Any pointers?

I'm doing my first hill workout next week...I'm also on the prairie, so it was hard enough finding that. Pike's Peak sounds hard, considering the last time I ran up a hill.   I'm sure you can do it!
So, do you have a hilll to train on or is it mainly treadmill work? Here, it's really prairie; no elevation gain or loss wherever you go, lol. It's like flat as a pancake! There's areas that are not so flat, but it's about 2 hours drive. I so wish I lived where there's mountains or hills to run or bike. I love mountains.
let me know how your hill training goes. Any specific program? I should check on all my old issues of Runners world, but I'm just too lazy.

During marathon training, runners will do a long run each week, adding miles each time--usually up to 20 miles or so. But then in the two or three weeks before the race, they will "taper"...which means they are decreasing their mileage in order to give their bodies plenty of time to recover before putting themselves through the 26.2 miles of a marathon.
