Hey Josh,

GJ on the pacing run. Maybe I will see you in the race as well. I might just through any time targets out the window and run off feel. If I end out running near you and you want to share pacing duties let me know.

I'm putting all my eggs in one last ditch training effort this week. I am on pace to hit 160-MPW. I don't plan on tapering the volume down much. Just backing off the speed as the race day approaches.

Hope you guys have a fun time despite the setbacks.

You will probably get a variety of answers on this one. I think the key is how you feel. If you are feeling nice and healthy and rested, I would run 6 really easy and then pick it up in the last 3 to marathon pace.

I wouldn't go any faster than that. Save your real speed for Boston. If you are tired, hurt or sluggish at all, just do the whole thing slow. The key is that the run should feel relatively easy - this is more important than any specific pace.

FWIW, I have 12 planned and I intend to do the first 6 easy, then MP the last 6 depending on how I feel. I like to start feeling what MP really is during these last few weeks. But again, I wouldn't push it at this stage of the game.<HR>
