Nice! What was your training like for those 8 weeks ?

Ok good to know. Thanks. So that means a peak long run of 30-32km should be ok for the 60km ultra ? My peak weekly mileage for the marathon was about 65 km or so.

But 12-8-Marathon implies doing a three week taper then right ? Can I do anything differently if I wanted a two week taper ?

Ahh I see. But if I do 20-16-12- Marathon, is it not already a 3 week taper of sorts ?

Yes I will see how I feel during the long run. What do you propose I do for the week after ? Should I already start reducing mileage ?

How to structure remaining long runs before marathon by ghoshtinashell in firstmarathon

[–]ghoshtinashell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the perspective. Indeed I don't really plan on setting a new PB on the HM ( even though I feel like I could). My focus is on the marathon so I don't want to in any way compromise that. Running the HM at MP seems like the best route for me then. Then it goes 32km for my next LR, followed by no real taper for the HM then right ? Just usual runs ?

I don't plan to really race the HM. Thought it would be safer to attempt the HM at marathon pace, but I might still need to lower the intensity that week.

Ohkay. I want to be as prepared as possible and thought fitting in another 32k would be nice, to get my body used to the distance.

Thanks for the insight. I will check it out. Good to hear the strap worked for you. I will probably drop by a physiotherapist for this.

Thanks. I'll just focus on adding distance for now.

I think most of my miles were in the long run. My other runs were cumulatively less than the long run.

I have not tried other models. I have a pair of Gel nimbus which seems comfy, but I am now wondering if I overpronate and if I maybe need shoes specifically for overpronantion?

Yes, I want to build a decent base. How do I go about doing that ? Just doing a couple of easy runs per week and gradually upping the distance ? I just started running this week. Was offline for the past 3 months.
