  • It was a nice, sunny day for a run. My mental and physical condition was not at its best. My legs continue to feel weighted which discourages my mental state for race day. I downloaded several podcasts about the mind and running for my drive on Friday.

You're into taper mode now, right? And increasing your carbs this week?

I know with the Hanson's training program I use, they talk of cumulative fatigue as a training principle. Basically, feeling the heavy legs you describe.

I've certainly felt that every time I've used the program - most especially beginning about 7 weeks out from race day.

The taper and the carb load take care of it normally. What you feel now is not as important as the way you feel race day. You've got this!
