Let the Madness begin
Friday
9.5k 42:29. HR Avg 151 Max 163 Avg Pace 4:28
Course: Work to Sydney St and Back.
Start Time: 5:25 pm Temp 17C.
Session Type: Lactate Threshold Run
Have just been pushing it a little harder each time I do this session and another good result tonight.
Out in 21:28 (146) and back in 21:01 (157).
Sunday
25.0k 2:08:30. HR Avg 144 Max 158 Avg Pace 5:08
Course: To Bowen Bridge and Back.
Start Time: 7:00 am Temp 11C.
Session Type: Long Run
Last long run before GC. I resisted the urge to put in the 65k that Eagle put in before his recent marathon and stuck with a lazy 25k. It was cold when I started out but perfect conditions for running. All the way back was into a biting breeze which upped the chill factor somewhat. So after going out in 63:04(140) came back in 65:26 (148).
So now the taper begins. By next week end I should have decided on a target time. Just like before Canberra in April, a couple of the kids are sick which is never a good thing when under the spell of taper madness.

You seem to have peaked at the perfect time.
Happy tapering :-)

Lots of gargling and washing of hands helps at this stage.

Enjoy your taper (and keep the kids at a safe distance - like in the next suburb... :-) )

Don't taper and you won't get sick ;)
I thought you would have at least put in a lazy 45k.
