Everyone continues to taper and reduce their kilometres this week as we continue to count down. Some people start to feel like they want to run more and find it hard to hold back during the taper. Please stick with the program and enjoy your taper so you can reap the benefits of your training on race day. Personally, I really enjoy the taper.
Enjoy week 11.
