mags Apr 2009 8:37pm, 25 Apr 2009 56 posts	mags I need some advice to all you experienced marathoners- am doing Brathay. Did my last long run 23 miles last Wednesday and am now panicking that 4 weeks is too long a taper. Have done 5 long runs totalling 100 miles. Have \i peaked too soon, have achilles problems . Had nightmares last night about not finishing!
abdou Apr 2009 8:49pm, 25 Apr 2009 1,765 posts	abdou No no Biastai, it's me that's scared Mags, that sounds like you've got plenty in the bank. 4 weeks is longish for a taper but your fitness isn't going to disappear - far from it. If you're doing a long taper to preserve the achilles stick with it.
