R4/W2, 4.6miles in 67-68min, 14.5minmile. 59*. Breezy.
GB wanted to try out R4/W2 combo so we did that today. It was difficult. I think there was only one session which I completed without stopping to walk for a few seconds. And the last 10 min I was definately slower, did more walking than running because it includes the cooldown.
Aim is to do this distance at 13.5min mile before the M-day. I think we will get there eventually.
GB and I were discussing the fact that we have not done a single 20mile LSD, the J.G. plan we are following had recommended 20, 23 and 26 miles before the M. We still have 4 weeks left, so if we do 20 mi this weekend, 10 the next, 24 after that, our taper will be only 2 weeks instead of 3 weeks. GB has researched and the 3 week taper is necessary. But when did we follow the rules? Now the fight is to do the two 20 mile runs versus a 3 week taper.
Have to look into this more.

I am also training for a marathon and debating this. But I have read some things that say for lower-mileage runners (40 mi week averages) that the 3-week taper is not necessary and 2 weeks is fine. I am doing a 2-week taper as well but cutting back next week on weekly mileage - still doing a 20-22 miler on the 27th of september.
