RACE WEEK

Intent. Not your paces.

Notes St. George Marathon, Oct 3, 2026: 3:09:54; race week Strava total 38.87; Fri 2.53; Sun 0 off

Strength optional short after Mon and/or Tue easy only — squat/split, SL hinge, calf, push or row, one core {dead bug, side plank, bird dog, hollow}; then stop. NO plyos. Nothing new Wed–Sun.

Cut first Wed easy or Fri shakeout; then midweek volume / XC. Protect rest into Sat. No makeup miles. No second hard day.

How to steal this week

Keep the tags.

Change the miles to your last month.

Thin week: cut easy, then long. Quality last if the week still holds.

Dead week: do not make it up.
