My 18th Training

Did 1.4km warm up run first. Knees were hurting at first, but later after about 1km of run, the pain dissapear.



Then did a LSD from my place to youth park and back to my place. before heading home, did another round of 1.4km around my neighbourhood. A total of 8.2km distance covered in 1hour 0min 59sec.

6 more days before race day.

Ok, there is such a thing called tapering.

I think you've trained very consistently, and hard enough. In fact, you've put in more training sessions than me! Hahaha...

Try to cut down on the mileage and intensity during this final week.

Don't rest too much, e.g. do nothing. You may find yourself on the decline phase of your peak during race day.

Don't do too much either, e.g. strain yourself just like what you've been doing all these while. You may find yourself to be still on the incline phase during race day, not yet at your peak.

The idea now is to get your body well-rested and prepared for the big day. Let your muscles repair themselves and hit their optimum level.

During this period, you should feel your body feeling stronger and faster than never before.

If your tapering is done just right, you will hit your peak on race day. Zero muscle pain, zero fatigue, maximum performance potential.

You will feel like Superman.
