Last Long Run before HM sept 9th

[AntSharpe]

Good last run out, just a couple of short tempo runs this week now and a couple of easy runs next week before my first HM sept 9th. All planning sorted, aware when to take gels etc, plus a decent pace, my fastest yet for anything over 10k. Good day today!!!

Thank you, what are taper terrors??!!

[Madge50 Marathon in reply to AntSharpe]

They are when you feel fine and excited one minute, then as the event grows closer this is mixed with.....you wonder, have I done enough? Have I done long enough training runs? Should I do a bit more? Sneak in another run, maybe....? I’m scared eeekkk! ..... have I got enough fuel/snacks? What if I need the loo?.........this is normal, and happens every time.....

In the end it will be fine, just go with the flow, stick with your plan.... you’ll be in that starting pen raring to go.....🏃‍♂️

Looks like you are good shape for your first HM. Don't forget the race report afterwards.

Good, well done. Once you know your training is complete then you feel happier about race day. Daydream about what it will be like on the day 😃

Get plenty of sleep! Good food too and keep well hydrated 👍😃

Thanks, can’t really believe how excited I am... I literally go to sleep at night now thinking about running!! Will definitely do a write up / race report, got a week and a half to go with only short easy runs to do, but the time will soon go !
