I decided to try a marathon simulated run this morning and it worked out pretty well. I ran from my house down to the trail until I hit 6 miles and back. The weather was prefect running weather. It was about 44 degrees with some light rain. I ran the first 2 miles slow, then picked up the pace averaging 8:30 for the entire run. I felt good but was tired for most of the day. My plan is to start a 2 week taper after my long run this Saturday. I'm not sure how far I should go. Any suggestions would be apprectiated.

Yes. I am running Ogden too. I wish I could watch you finish, but I will be way behind you.

I would suggest 14 to 15 miles or less since hey you just ran a marathon, your body won't forget so soon!! I think you need a slight recovery moment that is why you were so fatigued, your muscles are still healing. Try some Yoga :)

Thanks Julie. Great advice. I think I will run 14. I've never done my last 20+ miler four weeks before a marathon. It makes me nervous, but I'm sure it can work. The yoga is a great idea.
