Hi!! As all you lovely folk know, I am doing race for life on Sunday morning, I haven't run since Friday what with the Bank holiday and everything. I'm off to the gym today but the Treadmill p***es me off so will go on the bike. My question to you is Do I run again before the big day or take it easy, I don't know??!!!! :/

I would def doing something before Sunday...maybe today and Thursday and then have a couple of days rest in preparation for the big day! However, would do something gentlish...maybe 30 mins! (when was that every gentlish???)

Hi Pat,

Yes, do a couple easyish sessions, no hard runs!! Before my event on Sunday, I ran on the Thursday evening, but nothing after that...

Good luck!
