Tapering

Tuesday night session with the club but I was under strict doctor's orders not to exert myself before the race on Sunday so a very quiet workout.

A warm-up through the forest of St Germain to the terrasse and back past the swimming pool before heading to the track. I ran with Laurence and accompanied her all evening both on the warm-up and around the track. The interval session tonight was 12 x 200m with 100m rest in between. Laurence's VMA test (still don't know the translation of this in English - can anyone help me here ?) showed that her equivalence over 200m was 50 seconds. So we set off doing each 200m in that time. Laurence did very well and was very stable over the intervals finishing each one between 48 and 50 seconds with a final sprint in 43 seconds.

Easy session for me running with the ladies - most enjoyable.

Picked up the club jersey at the end of the session and will now wear this on Sunday for the marathon. The pressure's really on now !
