Re: 2 week taper for mini marathon
As cgerber indicated, you'll get lots of answers. And, I'm probably at the far end of the spectrum. For races HM or shorter, I don't really taper, except for a mini-taper in the week before. I'll do about 80% of the miles I would normally run. Typically, I would run 40 miles. The week leading up to a HM, I might do 32. If the race is on Sunday, I'll run maybe 5 miles on Saturday (I usually rest on Friday). The week before, my long run would be 8, the week before that 10.
