TODAY, DO A 40 MINUTE RACE-PACE (RP) RUN AT LEVEL 3-4 INTENSITY (75-90% MHR). Warm-up for 20 minutes at a gradually increasing pace. Run at a steady pace, level 3-4 intensity for 40 minutes, then cool-down for 20 minutes. During the run, focus on visualizing yourself in the upcoming marathon; feeling good, focused, aware of those around you but not distracted by them. By practicing this visualization regularly, it is much more likely to be the scenario come race day.
