"I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's usually my ankle" - unk. "Frankly autocorrect, I'm getting a bit tired of your shirt". I ran half my last race on my left foot!

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
If you have to take 2 days off before a long run or more than a day after than you are running it either to long or to hard. Your long runs seem way out of proportion to the rest of your mileage.

Why is it sideways?
...hence folks often say [the long run] should be < 50%="" of="" your="" weekly="" mileage...="" />
... My breathing is good, but my legs get beat. I always finish, but it's a pace that's about 3 min. slower than when I start - and I start out slow...
I'm considering tapering every 3rd week before my long run (which is getting to 20 miles now), just like I have for my recent half marathons - which is 2 days off, 6 miles easy, 2 days off, and race - that worked very well. l
