My first marathon is in less than two weeks, and I'm a little bit nervous about the week before. I don't want to run too much or too little. This is what my training has looked like throughout my training:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday: 6 miles
Tuesday, Thursday: 7 miles
Saturday: Long run, 12-20 miles
This is my taper plan:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 6 miles
Tuesday, Thursday: 5 miles
Saturday (day before marathon): 3 miles
My peak mileage during training was 60 miles per week. Taper week would have me at 31 miles before the marathon. Is that too much? Should I cut it down more? I ran 7 days a week througout training, so that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about the volume of running in general. I'm not sure by how much I should reduce my mileage, and I don't want to be tired on race day.
