Just finished a 12mi run with 12 bridges
Holy crap, that was really challenging. It was 6 miles/6 bridges out and then the same back. My half is in two weeks. I'm tapering from here. I'm not following any specific plan (this is my second half) but I was thinking of doing maybe 2 4m runs this week and a 7m run next sunday following be a few 2.5-3 mile runs the week of the race. Any suggestions or advice about that schedule?

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Just finished a 12mi run with 12 bridges
Blech that's a lot of bridges...props to you!
If it helps at all, my half is next Sunday (holyshit!) and my last two weeks of training has looked/will look like this:
Last Saturday: 12 mile long run.
Sunday thru Tuesday: recovery from a stomach virus, so basically diddly squat. If I hadn't been sick, two of those three days would have involved 3-5 mile easy runs
Weds: 6 miles with a bit of speedwork (3x1200m at race pace)
Thurs: 3 miles easy
Fri: off
yesterday: 8 mile long run. Was supposed to be 6 per my schedule, but my friends were doing 8 so therefore so did I
today: 5 mile suuuuper easy recovery run. It's pretty warm today, so I took a lot of walk breaks.
Tomorrow: easy 4-5 miles.
Tuesday: crosstrain maybe.
Weds: I may go to the group speed workout and do the same thing I did last Weds, maybe not. If not, I'll do an easy 5 miles.
Thurs: crosstrain
Friday: suuuuper easy 3-5 miles.
Saturday: nothin. Besides driving to Toledo, picking up my packet, checking in to the hotel, etc.
Sunday: race day (hoooolyshit).
I've used HM training programs that have had me do my last long run (10 miles) one week out from the race, and ones that have had the last long run two weeks out and a long-ish run one week out and I feel like my legs were equally rested with either format. Hope this helps!
