I’m deep in the middle of tapering for Boston but haven’t had much in the way of the usual tweaking yet. No mysterious sharp pains, no feeling completely exhausted and out of shape. I guess it’s a good thing.
Saturday’s long run was just 12 miles. Almost every step of the way was up or down a hill though, so some real effort went into it. The last stretch was a more-than-moderate downhill, and I went ahead and let my legs fly, clocking in somewhere near 6:45 for that mile.
Its good when you go through taper with no pains.. Seems like your really ready!
cheers
