Tapering 101

As part of my updates on tapering, I’ve made a major update to Tapering 101, which covers tapering at more detail. http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Tapering_101

  1. I have a question about marathon tapering. Most people track their weekly mileage from Monday->Sunday and do their long run on the weekend. The race is also usually on the weekend. How many weekends before marathon weekend should I do my longest run? Should it be something like 19->20->22->16->26? or more like 20->22->18->16->26

    I'm also usually confused about tapering because I'm not sure if the race itself is suppose to count in the week of reduced mileage. I assume that it is. 100->80->60 (including marathon?)

  2. I've updated the page to include some details of the last long run and the issues of looking at weekly mileage.
