TODAY, RUN 7-9 ONE-MILE REPEATS (10 miles total): If you're having trouble getting going on a mile repeat day, here's a game you can play: Go to the gentle point of huffing and puffing, then back off. Ease back into less huffing and puffing, then back off again. Finally, gently find an exertion level of barely huffing and puffing that you can maintain. This technique is fun, distracting, and helps you find an appropriate pace. But if you're consistently feeling fatigued on workout days, there may be another reason: your marathon goal pace may be a little too ambitious, or you may just be overtraining and need to cut back.
