I'm recapping the past week of training for the Chicago Marathon. This was Chicago Marathon Training - Week 14 in the training cycle. In 2 short weeks, I'll be running the streets of Chicago!This week I started my taper, and while I was still waking up tired I remedied that Saturday night, clocking 13 hours of sound sleep.
I got to the gym once this week for a strength session and made it to yin yoga twice this week!
I continued eating pretty good this week... making another large batch of Roasted Broccoli, Sweet Potato, and Chickpea Salad for lunch. This week I added in some baked tofu for extra protein.
Chicago Marathon Training - Week 14:
Monday - 4 easy miles treadmill miles thanks to the thunderstorm that popped up on my way home from work.
Tuesday - Strength training & Yin yoga.
Wednesday - 8 miles. This was supposed to have 6 miles at a tempo effort, but the heat and humidity caught up with me and it was just a train wreck of a run. I did manage to complete the 8 miles, but it was not pretty.
Thursday - Yin yoga.
Friday - 6 miles easy. After Wednesday's run, I was happy that this was a great run!
Saturday - 10 miles. Last double digit run before Chicago!
Sunday - Rest.
Total Miles = 28
I'm linking up with HoHo Runs and MissSippi Piddlin’ for the Weekly Wrap.

I think you are more than ready for Chicago! Best of luck with the rest of the taper!
ReplyDeleteRunning your last double-digit run before the race--what a great feeling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week of workouts! Hope the tapering goes well :)
ReplyDeleteWhoot! You are almost there. I hope you are enjoying the taper. Chicago will be an amazing experience. I've got my fingers crossed for the weather -- but surely it will be cooler than what you've been training in. Great jumping shot, by the way. Thanks for linking!
ReplyDeleteit sure is!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the taper! I've been stalking the weather... and I'm hoping for cooler conditions than what I've been training in (that heat wave they had this week, has me a little nervous)..
