Less than three weeks to go, how do you feel?
Excited, nervous, apprehensive or raring to go; let me know. If you have followed this programme fully you can be confident that you have prepared your body to complete the Coventry Half Marathon 2009.
In this weeks programme, we are taking the distance of your long run up for the last time before race day. We will then have two weeks of shorter runs to allow your legs to recover before the half marathon.
Make sure you stay hydrated all week, refer to the hydration and running performance post to calculate your minimum fluid intake.
Relax into your runs this week and reward yourself for how far you have come in such a short time; I have spoken to some of you who had never ran outside before starting this programme. Well done, you will soon be a half-marathon runner.
