damo, you might find the peanut butter too dry to get down easily later in the race.
Think bite sized foods, small sausage rolls, tomoatoes etc. that you can chew a few times and force down.

I reckon that counts as a taper? Over the last seven days:
37 miles 
21 miles *cycle*
1 mile 
A little run Thursday morning and my training is complete. Crosses fingers for a favourable performance and result.

I'm mostly concerned about the logistics; train strikes on Friday, replacement buses due to engineering works on Sunday, where to park the car in Carlisle if the local trains aren't running, remembering that I'm booked in to the "other" hotel in Milngavie...
If I manage to get there the running will be the least stressful part of it (despite my lack of training).

Last year I drove all the way from the Fens to Milngavie on the Friday and that made my left hamstring tight.
Not making that mistake this year.
Over-nighting Thursday night at Berwick. Before a leisurely drive to Milngavie from there on Friday.

A couple of runs yesterday, adding up to just over 10 miles. Time to taper now.
Mustn't set off too fast this year. Mustn't set off too fast this year. Mustn't set off too fast this year. Nice and easy to Rowardennan, before any effort.
