Only one week to go; how do you feel? Excited, nervous, apprehensive or raring to go; let me know. If you have followed this programme you can be confident that you have prepared your body to complete the Coventry Cassidy Lady Godiva Half Marathon 2008.
In this weeks programme, we are lowering the mileage to give your legs some recovery before the race day on Sunday; you may have heard this called tapering. I want you to focus on self myofascial release, try to roll your legs every day this week.
Make sure you stay hydrated all week, refer to the hydration and running performance post to calculate your minimum fluid intake.
Relax into your runs this week and reward yourself for how far you have come in such a short time; I have spoken to some of you who had never ran outside before starting this programme. Well done, next week you will be classed as a half-marathon runner.
