Well, this whole tapering thing is a bit weird isn’t it? I feel like I’ve stopped training before the event, I’m even one day late with this blog post!
My training schedule for this week and next is very cut down, with fairly short runs. I’m throwing in some yoga and spin sessions as well to make sure my feet and ankles are rested before the big day.
I’m trying to stay on track with my eating and keep the training mentality going but it’s just…odd. I feel like I’ve lost my goal and my direction, my focus. It’s a taste of what’s to come after the marathon too I suppose.
I hope my body is taking advantage of this rest period and will be ready to go, strong, fit and healthy on the big day.
9 days to go! Have you done a taper before? How did it make you feel?
