This is part of a series of posts regarding how I am preparing, planning, and train to complete the 100 miles Ultramarathon Umstead 100: Road to 100. For all the ultrarunning series here is Road to 100 last week’s post and for additional ideas follow the link. Training for a 100.

I continued with tapering by reducing the mileage just a tad. Believe it or not, the reduction does not mean sitting on the couch longer. Tapering this week still includes a Full marathon long-distance run. Marathon distance that I help to pace the 4:30 Tobacco Road Marathon group.

Assessment:

You want to once again be honest with yourself about what are the things that are actually working great and those things that might need minor adjustment.

Planning:

Re-check the checklist, the items, the approach. Week prep, the day before prep, morning prep, event checklist and do not forget your post-event checklist. All those lists will need to be checked for necessary minor adjustments.

How is the plan going:

This week was another solid week. The workweek mileage was decent, here are some highlights,

Monday: Some minor stretches

Tuesday run: Easy short run

Wednesday run: No Group run due to the rain. Still manage to head out for an easy run

Thursday run: Switch to a rest day, the previous night was not restful at all.

Friday: Went out for a short easy run

The long runs were good too, Saturday:

Sunday: Fantastic run pacing the 4:35 Tobacco Road Marathon
