I am running the Quad Cities Marathon in Moline(and Surrounding
areas.. hence the Quad Cities), IL on September 26th.
This will be my first marathon, and I have worked very hard, and am
very excited.
My question is should I try to get one more long run in? I was fine,
and even sprinted the last 1/4 mile of my run, on sunday. My legs/body
have recovered completely after 2 days of rest. I think im doing
pretty good? (Im only 22 though!
Also noted I have not had any injuries during the training(except a
sprained ankle when drinking.... )
So once again, should I just taper down the last 4 weeks, or do you
think I need to make a 20 mile run. I just cant see the major
difference between the 2. I feel if i was able to complete this run
with a 3:39 pace (going by my split) , and my goal was 4 hours, i can
always just slow down some at the end?
Thanks in advance!
Hope I see someone from the group during the Race!
