Taper has started

My plan called for a last long run this weekend. However, I read the article from Peter Greif which stated that you can skip the last run in case your are ill. I am not ill, but I figured that such an early taper will work even better. What do you think...?

Everyone is different but I sometimes felt that my last long run before a Marathon did more hard than good.

Well, tapering is partly physical, partly mental. If you THINK you don't need the long run and don't feel like doing it, then it is better not to do it.

thanks Jon and Bob, I have the same feeling this time: it's better to skip the last hard one this time. will see what will happen in Munich...
