worryingly sat here with my calendar and a calculator, working out if I can hit 100 this month and still do a sensible marathon taper/recovery!

I was worrying about the vlm taper and the 100 miles target last night and came to the conclusion that vlm performance is number 1 priority (like I'm going to win it) - so, with regret, as LrdSugar says, I will taper "properly" - which means 21 this week and 15 next, - that plus being housebound looking after youngest and a sales conference straight after London means there's no way I'll do 100 this month. But I'll try and catch up a bit in may.

I got to teh same conclusion. I know I'll taper properly (although annoyingly I'll be in lovely Scottish countryside next week and want to run more) but hopefully my recovery should be ok, and I can squeak in a few more miles at the end of the month. My rough calculations see me needing 32 after Brighton, which should work.

I did wonder myself about the taper it will all depend how quickly I get back to running after...Mind you haven't really stuck to a plan so will keep on going was thinking as I did 162 in March then 100 in April will be a taper of sorts.....

I should hopefully be able to keep up my 100 miles a month...it all depends on how VLM goes and whether my legs want to run much (even just slowly) after it! I do have a work commute that I do every day...so that will keep me going anyways.

It's tough balancing marathon tapers and hitting 100 miles!
But good luck to everyone whatever they go for.
35 miles so far for me.

SuperDave!
By my calculations I'll finish VLM on 96 for the month. That gives me a week or so to find 4 Miles maybe a 4 mile cool Down?

From the VLM finish - about half a mile or so. SuperDave, you could do laps of Trafalgar Square until you reach your total
