I haven't been doing a proper fast persons taper this week but yes my mileage is down and my legs are feeling like lead weights!
How come during a taper you get this sensation yet if you are off for a holiday or cold you don't!?! Is it purely in the mind? Is it the bodies way of making your rest because it knows what is coming? Is it fear?!! Most odd!
Rest day today anyway with a mini cross training session to Sainsbury to get some 3kg bags of bread flour which I will need to carry the 10 or so mins walk back to the car! Early night tonight too (by 10:30 I hope!) as I know I won't sleep Saturday!!
Who said racing was fun!?!

And it's a really nice race to be doing to
Just enjoy it... because if you run with the frame of mind "I'm doing this because I want to - because I can - and because it's great", you'll run lighter on your feet - and with more strength in your legs.
I'll be thinking about you and willing you on from afar..
:o)
I'll be doing my bit with the kidz for my wife at Not the Roman 9 - not being up to running it myself this yesr :(
you will be fine
is a lovely race-and the sweatshirt is fab
