amazingpace May 2014 6:27pm, 8 May 2014 First-time poster!!	Quote Pin amazingpace Had a really bad last long run on Sunday, Cuddy, but have convinced myself that it was a combination of mental and physical tiredness. Now my taper has officially started I feel much better.

NelskiBL May 2014 1:47pm, 10 May 2014 201 posts	Quote Pin NelskiBL Feeling ok - last long run tomorrow - then taper time. Last Sunday's 16m run was a bit sore - some torso chaffing and I picked up a couple of stingers (chaffed nips). That's because it was so wet and I got core-soaked in a damp mist on the first couple of miles. Lanacane at the ready now.

Cuddy May 2014 6:34pm, 10 May 2014 4,181 posts	Quote Pin Cuddy Hi Mave. I'll join you on feeling pretty shattered. The sniffles are almost gone but I'm still coughing and just feeling knackered. Doing short runs and I don't feel too bad during them but they just seem to knock me out afterwards. I've been comfort eating and slapped on 5lbs in two weeks Edinburgh will definitely be a just finish race! Been checking the forecast nervously, it's apparently going to get a lot warmer.
