Only 3 runs completed this week, as per the plan. I did one day on, one day off through this week, with some short runs through the midweek, and a 12 miler on Saturday. That is about it now for training before the big day. I can see myself running a couple of times this week, just to keep myself ticking over. Some opinions are that there should be no running this week, but listening to my body, I find that a 3-4 day rest means my next run is a bit of a slow starter... bit like an old Ford!! If I keep ticking over every day or every other day, I keep fresh, and starting the runs is easier. It's interesting to see what your body can put up with when training hard enough.
It all feels quite strange now, almost 4 months of dedicated training all for one day. I am really excited about the day. The training miles are in the bank, and there is not a lot now that I can do now except keep healthy and keep away from any stupid injuries. Under 4 hours is still the target, and the training times suggest I can make that, so I am hopeful to make the goal.
