I know you have had big mileage, but the big rest is equally important. There is a divide lately on taper and I am still on the longer end....<BR/><BR/>As far as flu phobia goes, I am a big fan of Airborne the week (or 2) pre-race. Just once a day, but it is a little vitamin boost. I have no science behind it, but it has worked for me the last 3xs even though everyone else in my house was sick.<BR/><BR/>No food pre-race? Wow! I always have a little something 3 hours out (although I am a minimalist) and a gel 10-15 minutes prerace. But I hear you, I never eat pre-long run usually.... My favorites are a banana and a bagel because they are very benign to me. It will be tough for you if you do not have a regular "pre-race" food to figure out, but go with something bland and easy.<BR/><BR/>Good luck. You have had an awesome season. It is yours for the taking (provided of course that everything comes together.... but I think it will...).Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243284561562821997noreply@blogger.com
