rf_fozzy Mar 2013 9:28am, 11 Mar 2013 4,415 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy 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.
Paul Snell Mar 2013 5:50pm, 17 Mar 2013 1,315 posts	Quote Pin Paul Snell 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.

Paul Snell Mar 2013 6:00pm, 17 Mar 2013 1,316 posts	Quote Pin Paul Snell 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.
