<p>RIL - nice taper week. You're right on target it seems...55 or so the previous week, 44 last week, i.e., 80% of normal mileage. So...33 this week? <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> As for the 5k, yeah all that slow twitch work doesn't necessarily help the 5k time, think of it as a key tempo workout though. And once you recover from the marathon, you should nail some hot 5k times.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Mixed bag week for me last week. Didn't hit the mileage target I wanted as some other things got in the way. Key workout of the week was mile repeats midweek and they went reasonably well considering it was ridiculously windy that day; as splits below show, #4 was straight into a 30 mph wind, #2 was with that same wind at my back. I will be looking to really step it up this week, capping things off with a train-through 8k race in downtown DC on Saturday. Then the following week I will dial it back</span> in preparation for Broad Street Run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M 4/11 - 6 easy</p>
<p>Tu 4/12 - 11 road cycling in evening after work, 25 minutes core</p>
<p>W 4/13 - unplanned rest</p>
<p>Th 4/14 - 4 x mile repeats (6:38, 6:20, 6:26, 6:40), 7 miles total</p>
<p>F 4/15 - 9 easy (7:42/mile)</p>
<p>S 4/16 - 5 very easy (8:42/mile)</p>
<p>Su 4/17 - soccer in AM (52 minutes), 5 recovery jog in late afternoon (8:48/mile)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>32 miles total. As I said not what I had hoped for after missing a day and also cutting out a weekend long run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boston's going on as I type. Excited for all my friends running today, wish I was there.</p>

<p><strong>Bob and Jen</strong> both did great in Boston.  I believe <strong>Bob</strong> pulled off a negative split, which is pretty darn impressive on that course.  I haven't heard how <strong>Loopy or Ileneforward</strong> did.  Sounds like awesome conditions out there!</p>

<p>Loopy ran a 2:54.</p>

<p>Nice racing, Greg! I've been chasing a sub-40 10k for a while...haven't really raced enough of them to call it a vigorous chase however. I did MCM 10k last fall in 40:45 as a final NYC Marathon tuneup. Seems every time I run a 10k it's part of training for something else.<br>
