This is my last blog post before the big race. Two weeks taper went fine, but somehow with the decreased mileage, my legs started to hurt everywhere, and they never really felt rested. I hope this is just a side effect of actual musculoskeletal recovery. We will see tomorrow.

After the 17-miler I was blogging about, I only had one workout: 3 x 1600 m on windy day, in 5:45, 5:50, 5:52 (800 m recoveries). It was hard, and the last repetition ended in the paincave. I had to throw down a 1:23 last lap even for this 5:52 interval. My goal was 5:48, as it was supposed to be current 5K pace. After that workout, only one 13-miler other than all easy runs.
