Everyone continues to taper and reduce their kilometres this week as we continue to count down the weeks and days until the Bay To Bay.
There is another 3k time trial for the runners on the less than an hour 12k race program. It’s a great chance to compare your time from week 7. Again, if you are a local, you can run the 3k event at the Coast Runners Time Trial Night at Mingara Athletics Centre. Details are on the Coast Runners Facebook site.
Bay to Bay is getting so close now. Time to get excited!!!
