Time to taper

stats of the week: run 57 km, gym 3 h, walked 16 km
stats of the week before: run 32 km, gym 1.5 h

The week's mileage was bigger than scheduled due to several reasons. The result is that I feel exhausted and doubt that I will be able to repeat the speed of my last half marathon. I urgently have to taper now to recover for next Sunday and the Berlin half marathon. I don't have a special time target but I would be disappointed not to finish sub 2 hours.


Oscar to hide

stats of the week: run 53 km, gym 1 h
stats of the previous week: run 52 km, gym 3 h
stats of the week before: run 37 km, gym 3 h

Training followed roughly the schedule and culminated in running the race on the island of Sylt, a 34.5 km distance along nearly the complete length of the isle. Proudly I received the kitschiest cup ever for my 2nd place in the age group. It will stay on the mantlepiece for a week before I will hide it on the guests' loo.

Now it's time for a week of recovery before preparing for Berlin Half Marathon which this year uncomfortably takes place only 2 weeks before London.


I am quite with my mileage so far. It is rather rare that I can follow the plan.
