Twenty miles on the bike today plus another leg buckling circuits session with British Military Fitness. I suspect that tonight's session will be the last I do before we set off - my thoughts are turning to tapering.
Tapering is the apparently tricky business of reducing exercise just before the start of a big event so that you arrive fresh, having made the best of training. There are, it transpires, as many opinions on this as there are stars in the sky. So I'm taking the average(ish) of the advice I've heard (so far) and going for about a week.
I'm now looking forward to Thursday.
Of course, I'll blame any poor performance during the ride on this critical period and not any possible short comings in my actual training!
