Since I am the running scientist, I pushed through the extra half mile (4.5 instead of 4) just so that I could say on my rest week that I reduced my weekly milage by 30%.
Is 30% the right number for a good rest week? I don't know, but I didn't run yesterday, and I didn't feel up to a 7 miler just to get the weekly mileage up to 20 miles for this week, so I settled on 30%.
The run felt fine after I got out there. Actually, I'm not sure if the run felt good or if I was just excited that I made it out there for one more run and didn't flake out and rationalize a 13 mile week when I was originally aiming for 20.
London marathon. Gotta love the major marathons. Sammy Wanjiru is hoping to run world record pace. Ritz is trying to PR by 5 minutes. Martin Lel is trying to won his 4th London in a row.
With 1/10th of the hype that Boston got, this race is sure to exceed expectations.
Hopefully Runners World has live coverage like they did for Boston.
srsly, dude, slow down, you're going to get pulled over or something....35:30 is a rest run?
