This week was 53 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming, and 7 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
Tapered for and raced a half-marathon. I was pretty happy with my execution, but not so much the time. But I got some helpful prep information from the half, so as a dress rehearsal for the marathon, it was good.
One thing I did observe (but did not note in my race report) - I continue to experiment with how much running to do in the last few days before a race. Based on how my legs felt early on Sunday morning, I think I should have done a bit more running the day before.
Dailies:
Monday: 7 "miles" of pool-running and streaming yoga. Foam rolling in evening.
Tuesday: 8 miles very easy (9:39) including some grass running and four strides, followed by upper body weights/core. Foam rolling in evening.
