I took 10 days to be VERY sure of not getting injured. If you look at the link tamfb posted about, LSU is using 4 days not completely off but 4 days between HI. I will probably do that next year.
But a main difference between drob and me is I listen to Charlie. So, when he says my next race is going to be my peak, I’ve decided to plan accordingly, and instead of a real workout, I’m doing 4X30+80 @95% from the 10 day taper. I’ve run pretty consistently and never really had a major blowout time, which is of course important to race in Europe or sign a contract. So this time, I’m going for that big blowout time, and Charlie, if you have anything else to say, I’m all ears.
