Oi jasper, what does TAPER mean?


Over the past three days i have recovered from my illness and have been doing slow 2hr hilly runs. With the beacons ultra not so far away i am finding it hard to slow things down in time for snowdon. But i suppose i will have to TAPER (hate that word) so will start from tomorrow. Training pogram for the next week.


tues 13th =5miles

wed 14th =rest

thurs 15th=1-2 hrs hilly

fri 16th= 1-2hrs hilly

sat 17th =rest

sun 18th = hilly 10mile (with marathon clothing)

mon 19th = 1/2 hr hilly / football on mountain with jasper

tues, wed, thurs, fri =rest


Today jasper and me done a nice slow hilly 2hr session and late afternoon paid a visit to brecon for a walk / run up to pen y fan (top really enjoyed). We were up there in time for a great sun set
