I ran 4 miles in 29:56. An easy run so nothing exciting.
In the week leading up to the race it is incredibly important to rest your body. That may sound like an oxymoron since you are still running, but it is cutting back on the mileage and the overall intensity. Some key intensity runs (such as yesterday) are still crucial, but so is running at an easier pace. When training at this level, the last week will not provide any additional conditioning. However, that is easier said than done. Most competitors will tell you one of the hardest things to do is rest.
Hah! An easy run! I am ecstatic to do 4 miles at an 8 mile pace. Sounds like you guys will rock your race on Saturday!! Should have good weather, too :)
