Two‑week marathon prep post
Runner Jordan posted his planned miles two weeks out from a marathon as part of a training update, sharing specific prep workload in the run‑up to race day. The update was positioned as a late‑phase tuning snapshot rather than the whole training plan. (x.com)
Jordan told followers he plans to run 20 miles on Sunday and 10 miles on Tuesday, then start tapering two weeks before his marathon. (x.com) In the post, he framed the schedule as a snapshot of the final stretch, not a full marathon block. The account behind the post, @JordanOnChain, has about 42,900 followers and describes itself as a Web3-focused creator. (x.com) (twitterscore.io) That timing lines up with standard marathon practice: coaches usually cut mileage in the last two to three weeks so runners arrive fresher on race day. Hal Higdon’s marathon guidance says peak long runs often come three weeks before the race, followed by a taper. (halhigdon.com) (trainingpeaks.com) A taper is the part of training where runners reduce total work without stopping entirely. TrainingPeaks says the goal is to shed fatigue while keeping enough intensity to stay sharp. (trainingpeaks.com 1) (trainingpeaks.com 2) Jordan’s 20-mile run stands out because that distance is a common final benchmark in many beginner and intermediate marathon plans. Higdon’s plans peak at 20 miles before the taper rather than asking runners to cover the full 26.2 miles in training. (halhigdon.com 1) (halhigdon.com 2) A two-week taper is not unusual, but it is shorter than the three-week taper used in many traditional marathon schedules. Higdon says some programs, including his Boston-focused plan, use only two weeks. (halhigdon.com) (trainingpeaks.com) The post did not name the race or lay out the rest of Jordan’s weekly mileage. What it did provide was a clear look at the last heavy workload before race-day mileage starts to come down. (x.com)
