A simple e-mail explaining the current situation would be nice! Yes, I really never did cutback weeks in the past and I think that it cost me in terms of injuries. I also am taking a rest day a week, whereas last training cycle I took none until my taper week (and that cost me with tired legs during the marathon). Yes, I like your observation about momentum. Once lethargic it's difficult to switch gears to activity and once in activity it feels strange and slow being lethargic! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-63178568716570676842014-08-22T10:49:20.080-07:002014-08-22T10:49:20.080-07:00I've heard a lot about folks not receiving the...I've heard a lot about folks not receiving their corral assignment. The Chicago Marathon is usually lauded for its stellar organization so I find this very disturbing. I hope they send out communications of some sort SOON.<br /><br />You know, I think it's a tossup for many runners on cutbacks. Some folks love it, some folks hate it. For me, I'm so injury prone that the cutback weeks are really key for me. But I do have times when I feel lumpy and lethargic from sitting around, so I can understand both ways! I think the body gets into a rhythm and it is hard to change the flow of momentum, whether one way or the other.emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-29227882606301012852014-08-22T08:09:20.107-07:002014-08-22T08:09:20.107-07:00I think that they are supposed to send out an e-ma...I think that they are supposed to send out an e-mail as well, but I have not received one. The August 1st corral assignment deadline seems to have been pushed back without any communication that it would be pushed back. Oh well, I guess we'll all just have to wait...Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-45032928139550252792014-08-22T05:44:15.039-07:002014-08-22T05:44:15.039-07:00Definitely the the weather making it tough.

Yes, agreed that I'm not used to the mileage stress and I am adapting to it. My body is telling me to get some rest so it can get stronger. Just hoping runs will get easier soon!Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-21429230809978636152014-08-21T13:10:46.752-07:002014-08-21T13:10:46.752-07:00Time is flying for sure!

I suspect it's a combo of your body adapting to the training stress but mostly this humid weather that's making things tough this week.Teamarciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843904545493985865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-79003561026810385962014-08-21T12:36:36.478-07:002014-08-21T12:36:36.478-07:00Yes, the humidity is a killer.

But definitely I think the heat and humidity are a factor this week. We just aren't used to running it it right now. Good luck!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155443976345011433noreply@blogger.com
