I thought tapering was mean't to be the easy part

but the runners world schedule said 17 miles today so I dutifily went through with it. I kept HR between 130 and 135 for the first 13 which is a challenge in itself and then ran the last 4 at my own pace. result? 2hrs 44 which is faster than my BFHM pace. strange...I think my marathon day strategy will be to do the first 15-17 at under 135 HR and then just run the rest as best I can and see what happens. It does appear to work in giving me more energy for the harder later miles.
Next week I'll do my 12 miles on the saturday and then I'm on holiday for the week leading up to the big day.
My son's 18th birthday celebrations today. Its a bit worrying that I now have 3 grown up children. Gulp! I must be getting old.
Only 2 weeks to go everybody...
