I think my plan is club tonight, short MP run thursday, then a couple of easy potters Fri & Sat. Any less and I will find that I spend the first 5-6 miles all tight and painful.
Treacle Oct 2008 12:04pm, 15 Oct 2008 2,131 posts	Treacle I'm supposed to be resting tomorrow and Friday, and then a short potter on Saturday. Its what the plan says, and I'm not experienced enough to question it. So thats what I'm doing. I know for FLM I rested too much in the last week and then my legs just wouldn't work at all. So a few short MP runs are being done this week to keep me going. I'm sure everyone is different. I feel wrong if I rest too much, whereas my hubby will be knackered for a race unless he's had at least 3-4 days off.
