advice please
I am doing a half next Sunday. Here's the question, if I train legs on Monday what kind of schedule would you use as far as running the rest of the week to keep up on the cardio but have fresh legs. The course is flat and fast so I want to be fresh and really see what I got in me ??? What days and what kind of mileage would you put in?
No longer about weight , it's all about living.
Personally, I would forego the leg workout on race week bro... Monday 5 mile tempo run at 80% of race pace. Wedensday 3 mile run at race pace. Friday, 15 minute easy run, saturday chill... That's just my opinion...

Just remember asking me to not strength train is like asking you not to teach spin .... thanks though , I was thinking the same thing but that thought kills me ..... I know I'm strange, but will definately think about it ..... you know a lot more than me!

the day before the race? I wouldn't run at all. just chill. drink water.
I did a 6 miler on Wednesday before my Sunday half last week...not sure it helped or hurt anything since I was otherwise unprepared.

me I don't do diddly race week. Maybe a 3 miler wednesday and a couple on friday just trying to stay loose. You're not going to lose any fitness and you're better off feeling like a million bucks race day. But that's me, and I struggle to recover - if I do a tempo run, I still feel it a few days later...
