Never Been Quicker Mar 2012 6:54pm, 4 Mar 2012 3 posts	0 Never Been Quicker Hi everyone! I've been training for a HM next Sunday but I haven't done any training for over a week because I've had a bad cough and cold. In my training I've ran a 10, 11, 12 and 13.1 slow runs and was planning an 8 mile for this morning but I'm still so blocked up (nose!! :)) im out of breath walking up the stairs do I didn't go out today. I'm was planning to have a really easy week this week, just a couple of 4 mile runs. Do u think I will have lost much fitness in these 2 weeks? Thanks x I've done 1 HM before, about a yr ago, and it was a disaster and I haven't raced since so i was hoping this one would be better but now I'm not so sure!!

You take care, run a little bit if you can this week, and get to the start line fit and healthy next week. Good luck.

Tabasco Mar 2012 6:58pm, 4 Mar 2012 185 posts	0 Tabasco Nope, you will be fine. Take it easy this week and get to the start line in one piece. You've done plenty of nice long runs, so I reckon you'll do pretty well. Good luck.
