I'm presently 6 weeks deep into training for a marathon on 9Nov14. On 13Sep14, I'll be doing an Oly.

My training schedule has me slated, the week of 8-14Sep, for a 5+mi (8Sep), 6mi (10Sep), 5mi (12Sep), and a 15mi (14Sep) run. Givien the Oly on the 13th, I'm thinking of skipping the Friday 5 miler.

How would you work the week to prevent over training?

You're just substituting a 10K in the Oly for a 5 mile run the day before.  Doesn't seem unreasonable.

You are the best judge, but having fresh legs the day of the race will help your performance.

Exactly what I was thinking.
The work out I'd replace with the Oly is slated as a "slow" run, so it wouldn't be taxing. Still, there would be 2 full days of rest before the race.


I'm going to go that route. I was just wondering what others would do.

I'm going to let you in on how to get faster by doing nothing. Well, not exactly nothing, but you won't have to raise your heart rate, put out 300 watts, or really even break a sweat.

I quickly browsed an article in Men's Health that talked about doing a triathlon, and how it wasn't really that hard. With a "tsk!" I quickly turned the page while thinking, "Yeah, right!"
