Tapering?

[soveryexcited]

And how do you delete a post? I totally was zoning out and posted this on Married Life. OOPS!

I am running a 10k March 17th, and then a half marathon April 7th and I'm not sure how my tapering should be.

Right now my long runs are:

2/23 - 11 miles
3/2 - 12 miles
3/9 - what should I drop it down too? Do I need to taper at all before a 10k?
3/17 - 10k
3/23 - what do I do here?
3/30 - what do I do here?
4/7- half marathon

I
guess according to my training schedule if I wasn't doing the 10k I
would slowly taper down, but it seems a little extreme to go from
running 12 miles to 4 or something the week before the 10k. And then
what mileage should I be running between the 10k and the half? Thanks
for the help!

I would probably do: 11, 12, 6-7 , 10k, 10-12, 4-5, HM

I'd do 10 the week before the 10k, but the.n again I usually only take the day off before a 5k or 10k.

I'd do 12/10 and 8/6 the week before the half depending on how you feel. Truthfully, I probably would try and get in another 12, since it will have been a while since your last really long run.
