For longer races (1/2 Marathons, Marathons) there is a lot of talk of cutting back or “tapering” on your training for a few weeks before the big day.  For shorter races however I won’t do that so much I am taking it easy this week but mostly because I don’t want to do anything stupid right before a race.
