The taper in practice
The best part of last Saturday’s 2-hour run was how I felt in the last 3 km -as if I could have gone on all day at that effort level.
Which is just as well because in less than 3 weeks I’ll have to do just that – run most of the sunshine part of the day.
After a rest day on Sunday I ran out for what’s become my standard training run, 8.72 km down into town and then back up again. I felt strong, ran strong and did it 40 sec faster than I’ve done it before. Great. Another indicator that the taper is going right.
Plus I have no twinges or other indicators that something is going wrong in my legs. And so far I am not feeling ill in anyway, nor do I feel worried about getting sick.
So far so good.
