Скачать или смотреть 40 Mile Taper Week… Am I Ready for Sub

This week felt different — not easier, not harder, just closer. With the Philadelphia Marathon right around the corner, November 10–16 marked a true shift in training: dialing back the mileage, keeping the legs sharp, and letting the work I’ve already done finally rise to the surface.

I logged 40 miles total this week, and even with the lower volume, every run felt like it mattered more. The 7-mile Monday run set the tone, Wednesday and Thursday kept the rhythm alive, Friday and Saturday reminded me to stay patient, and Sunday’s 12-mile long run was the final checkpoint before heading into race week. The hay is almost in the barn — now it’s all about getting to the start line healthy and confident.

I’m chasing a sub 3:30 marathon after previously running a 4:35, and this entire series has been about showing the actual process — the miles, the struggles, the training blocks, and the moments where the goal shifts from a dream to a real possibility. Every week has been part of the build, but now everything is narrowing toward one day: November 23rd, the Philadelphia Marathon.

If you're training for your own PR or curious what marathon prep really looks like during taper season, this week shows exactly how I’m tightening things up while keeping the goal locked in. Thanks for following the journey. One more week. One more push. Then it’s time to find out what I’m made of.
