I built some confidence to go into tapering for Old Goats. All the people I ran with this week pushed me to keep running a little harder and put a little more quality in which shows in the raw numbers for this week. I think the structure of my year thus far has been a bit more ideal for setting me up for a better performance at Old Goats than last year. I feel like I have a bit more endurance, a bit more speed, and a little bit better nutrition. I'll hit one more workout this week if my quad comes back around, and then start easing into a guarded taper (extra sleep, shorter runs, but nothing too slow).
