The taper works
Just finished off my last easy run before i head for paris tomorrow . Perfect evening for my last easy run and i done 6k easy on a routing route i am over. Week into my taper will be 2 weeks by the time this Sunday comes. And i was looking at the effort and paces from a previous run from feb on the same route you don’t noticed how cooked your legs are during your training until your not doing it any more. The older run i have covered the kilometre’s i didn’t run as it was only 6k 3 out and back and the older one is 6 out and back.
I have added my weekly milage that i did this year and my run from today and my run from February just to show the difference. Today’s run felt like a 3 out of 10 and i put the older run a 3 out of 10 also.
All the best with your marathons.
