Today I ran 5.25 miles in 39:25. This was my regular, easier run. However, in the last mile I did push it a little bit more than usual.
In the evening I cycled for 49 minutes.
This is the first week of my taper. After researching different taper plans on the Internet, I am taking what I like from two different plans. This week I decrease my mileage 20%, on in my case 12 miles, but do not decrease the intensity.
I figured to have the same philosophy with my cycling so that is why I only cycled the relatively weird time of 49 minutes.
Even though I have followed taper plans within the training schedule I have previously followed, I have just never felt properly prepared come rest day, meaning not rested fully. We will see how this goes but I can already tell the last week is going to drive me nuts because I will be doing so little.
