About to give my legs a little shake. Three miles or so. The taper is finally biting. I know this because before breakfast this morning I pulled the microwave out and cleaned the worktop underneath, and decrumbed the toaster.

Decrumbing the toaster is a true sign of taper madness. I’m going on one of those holidays. Have fun and run well Velo et al :-)

I seem to have avoided taper madness by excessive amounts of swimming.

Probably not my best plan.

Depends which running guru you choose, Sushi. :) I seem to recall that in The Art of Running Faster, Julian Goater yammers on about having gears in your arms.

Getting packed. Do you think three pairs of almost identical trainers will be enough? And three pairs of shorts of different lengths, one pair of capris, one pair of normal leggings and one pair of fleece-lined leggings? And who's got my lucky socks?

Nope. No way is that enough. You've forgotten the kitchen sink. 🤣🤣

If I'd known I'd be running with the kitchen sink I'd have got people to sponsor me :-O

How many raincoats? I've got a couple of lightweight ones but I'm dithering over my big Paramo hiking raincoat.
