Anyway, I think if you stay loose with a few quick runs over the next week or so, you'll be ready!<br /><br />As for your question for me, it's really a tough issue to address because there's no universal symptom...besides, we have no clue how they people felt before they collapsed...if anything...<br /><br />I'll see if I can do some research and provide some more insight on the subject in a future post.The Laminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171521739644023071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-25184580737761191052009-10-23T11:33:17.209-04:002009-10-23T11:33:17.209-04:00Think of it as extra time for any nascent injuries...Think of it as extra time for any nascent injuries to heal. The biggest downside to marathon training IMO is that it's all geared for an event that can be run (by most people) only twice a year, so so much depends on feeling right on that day. But your base is there and is what really determines your success. The "coiled spring" feeling is a great sign that you're ready to kick major tail on the course.<br /><br />Your post is actually quite encouraging to me - I only ran twice in the last 8 days to try to dissipate several nagging injuries, picking up a cold in the process, and I suffered similarly yesterday, but blamed it on injury. Rust can be shaken off, six months of training does not go away in 10 days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-88176092228950670312009-10-23T09:49:55.746-04:002009-10-23T09:49:55.746-04:00Sorry to hear that work got in the way of your FIR...Sorry to hear that work got in the way of your FIRST training, but at least it's happening now when you should be resting anyway. Sounds like you got in some great workouts throughout the training cycle, including a handful of long runs at a good pace, so I have no doubt you'll kill it. <br /><br />Just get out there and loosen your legs up before next weekend. Good luck!Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350486435138119676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-75120294598103493182009-10-23T09:49:47.668-04:002009-10-23T09:49:47.668-04:00Wow, a 10 day layoff is tough.

What makes it even worse is that the stress keeping you from running was the same stress that would have been (at least somewhat) alleviated by running. But I don't have to tell you that...<br /><br />Good luck with the rest of the taper. Get some quality short runs in there so your body is still ready to work hard on the 1st.Roberthttp://www.cowboyhazel.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483229147095267938.post-62159555693603446862009-10-23T09:38:50.470-04:002009-10-23T09:38:50.470-04:00Funny how our mind and work gets us out of the gam...Funny how our mind and work gets us out of the game sometimes.
