Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm already dreading the taper I've never tapered for anything in my life. I may need a straight jacket lol!

I'm planning on a 20 or a 22 two weeks before the race. 2 weeks taper with my mileage should be plenty.

Yes, Millie, you should taper because otherwise you'll start the race on tired knackered legs. You don't have to stop running, though. Just do shorter runs than normal, ad reduce it down as you get closer to race day.

Taper madness has nothing to do with taper. It has to do with how much we all care about how the race will go for us because it MATTERS! We've allput so much in to the race that it MATTERS SO MUCH.

Don't panic. Train well, rest well so you recover well and race well on the day.
