The longest run and then the 'taper'.

This weekend will see Grumple and I running a whopping 20 miles. But the REALLY good news is that after that, we begin the great 'tapering'. This run is the longest distance we reach in our training and so from next Saturday we actually start reducing the number of miles we run at the weekend - marvellous news!

However there are downsides to tapering:

This means that the marathon is only 3 weeks on Sunday!

I also keep conveniently forgetting something of an important point which is that this may be the longest run we have to do during our training but we still have to run the actual marathon... Best not to dwell on that too closely...
