Well done, Paul. Next week is a bit early to start tapering though. Usually it's a 3 week taper. |

Thanks phook - it won't be a taper just a mid training rest week, I will be training again after and I will try to get up to 20 miles. I expect to do a two week taper at the end depending on how I'm feeling

Good stuff. Try to ensure that you don't push the pace on your long runs - it's not so much about getting faster as getting used to the distance - but I'm sure you know that!.

Given your low volume of training, I'd say a 2 week taper is still on the long side, you might only need 9 days or so. Remember a taper is to allow your body to recover from the high volume of training you've been doing in time for race day. You should also still do a long run on your cut-back week. If you've been doing 18miles for the past few weeks, maybe 14 is a sensible distance to do. |

Another 18 miles today in 3 hrs 20, quicker than last week. I seemed to get tired like before but was able to push on and hold most of my pace - it was a lot of work for the legs but I did not get out of breath. Now I will take a cut back week.

I have no idea what my pace should be on the day - I have been improving so fast but my long runs are still very slow. I don't want to go too fast and then have to walk.
