I’m pretty sure that taper does not equal do not run the entire week up to your race. But that’s how it is starting to look in my world… I had fit ball on Monday, but we didn’t run after class as Instructor S wanted us to go vote in the civic election. I didn’t even do that either because I don’t even know if I’m on the voter list in this town. I instead decided to go home and scarf down some leftovers from Avery’s party on Saturday. Yesterday was way busy over lunch and I had a commitment in the evening so no running there. Today I decided that working on my property review presentation for my meeting tomorrow was more important than running. Tonight is yoga and we shall see if I decide to squeeze in a few miles after class. I know I can run Friday before heading to the airport, just not sure if I should attempt a Thursday run as well or not. What to do, what to do? If anyone has any advice I am all ears.
...sometimes with a little swimming and biking thrown in...
Don’t sweat it. Just get a run or two in and eat a lot. A taper is an art, not a science…a calorie filled art at that.
You’ll be fine. Just get one solid run in and you’re set.
