hehe me never do double hill before.
just want to ask, i know there are a lot of advocaters and pro's out there saying we should taper during the last 2 week before the big day.
Is it mainly to avoid injury or to conserve energy and allow our body and legs to heal???
either reason it still make sense to taper.....but i also have an alternative thinking.
assuming you are training for a ultra marathon......you would be probably doing 42k's as weekly training and 42k becomes an easy distance to cover...suffering only starts beyond that distance

now using the same principle, suppose we don't taper off this weekend, and continue to run high 35k's and then next week run 42k (take race day as training prequel to something bigger). 1 week is enough to recover and restore all the energy back to our body, no?
marvin, if your next run is still a training run then no prob. you may not be fully recover but the pace is easier and u can afford not to complete it. but if next week is race day, u will definitely want a fresh body with fresh legs all eager to go. one tends to run harder in a race if the body is willing to give and the reserve is there. so therefore you may not want to risk having weak legs on race day because the week before you had a high mileage run. thats the principle behind it.
