Just eat a normal diet... maybe a little more carbs than normal but you wont gain anything from shoveliing extra food in.
Windproof/shower proof kit refers to jacket and trousers...
ok. thanks lay of kfc then . blakes
Is this my body saying your not going to run almost seventy miles the day after tomorrow!
its your mind making sure you rest well in the days before...........you will be fine..enjoy
I agree with the above, head palying tricks, I had a similar problem before last weekend, I felt really bad, I had completed a 35 mile run end of May and relaxed back, possibly too early, I put it down to taper problems (only did minimal miles in June) so I did a couple of short runs and quite a lot of biking this week to put my legs back in exercise mode and it feels really good. I think for me, tapering can have the effect of letting the aches and pains take hold but thankfully it seems it's temporary
i see you get around all the forums Seren - just doing homework for after the Outlaw - i got to get an ultra in this year at some point,but starting to think that 12 days rest isnt really enough time to recover for grimsthorp
