With just under one week until race day, the running training is all but over. The focus has shifted to carb-loading and resting the legs. Last week was scheduled to be 20 miles (32km). However, when the sun came out (which is quite a rare occurrence in this part of the world) I found it hard to resist putting on the trainers and heading out for a run. My week went something like this:
Monday - 5.3 miles to Coton (8.5km) to loosen the legs after orienteering
Tuesday - 6.25 miles to Granchester (10km)
Wednesday - took advantage of the warm weather to go sculling + jog to and from the boathouse 2.5 miles (4km)
Thursday - more sunshine so we hit the river for another sculling session.
Friday - 6.25 miles to Granchester again (10km)
Saturday - a pre-breakfast 8.8 mile (14km) run along the river.
In total 29 miles (46.5 km) - I will definitely have to work on my tapering next week!
