well, we're both on countdown mode now. This time next week we will be on our way back from the great city of Edinburgh, probably stopping at every Burger King on the way down :)
6 days to go and the hard graft of preparation has been put in and is now behind us. This week I have two more runs left to do, tonight and Wednesday, both of which will be about 4-5 miles but pretty gentle just to keep the legs ticking over and keep my head in the game. And lots of eating soon.
The weekend wasn't as diligent in eating as it could have been, what with it being Eurovision, but I stayed away from chocolate and indulgences were limited to Chinese and cake. And I did run. I'm still focusing on the protein for the next couple of days to continue to aid muscle repair and then Wednesday onwards I will start to reduce the protein and up the intake of complex carbohydrates. Although advice says you can feast on sugary carbs as it will all be stored as glycogen, I want to try, as far as is possible, to keep focused, to fuel up with carbs that are mainly lower in fat, so as to avoid the sluggish feeling that can come from too much chocolatey type stuff.
My excitement is building now. I'm trying not to think too much about the pain that lies ahead but I am really happy with the efforts we have put nto the preparation and I firmly believe that will pay off on race day. Also hoping this glorious overcast weather holds as that would be ideal race day conditions.
