+6.5km. Easy one today.

I've started tapering down now before the Liverpool Half on the 29th. I'm a little concerned I will lose my fitness in this next 10 days or so while downing my mileage. Do I still push it a bit on these shorter runs or do I just take them easy?

Take it easy - rest assured you've put the training in and enjoy the tapering. Just don't get lazy with your diet, if you're burning less calories it's easy to continue eating your training diet! I've been burnt many times before

+6.3km. Nice and easy in the sun

Will probably take your advice Carra and rest up now. Plan is for two runs on Tuesday and Thursday next week before the half next Sunday.

I think bacon is from Australia? so he's probably running in 32C!

I'm a wimp in the heat. Anything approaching 20C and I melt.

Just walking to the gym and back killed me. Let alone running.

I thin sensible people over here go out early / late though.
