Began my tapering for Boston by reducing my mileage, but keeping the intensity up.
April 5th - Marlboro Retro Fitness. Long Run with Newton Hills Simulator. Ran 10 miles at 0% before starting Newton Hills Simulator with 3% for 0.7 mile, then 0% for 1 mile. Up 6% for 0.3 mile, then 0% for 1.4 miles. Up 4% for 0.4 mile, then 0% for 0.4 mile, then up 6% for 0.4 mile. Last 1.2 miles at 0% started at 7:03 pace and topped off at 5:00 pace for last 0.1 mile. Felt great, but after the last hill, I had to hold the railings for a few seconds! Total Miles = 16.0 in 1:53:03 (7:02 p/mi).
