In the last week before the half-marathon decrease your training to one to three miles a day. This is known as tapering, and in many ways works like a spring as it collects energy ready to explode on race day. As an added help, cut out protein in your diet from the middle of the week and increase car-
bohydrates and fluids. Next Sunday, run a controlled race.' and good luck. Schedule:— Day 1: Seven miles. Day 2: Six' miles (with pick ups). Day 3: Five miles. Day 4: Four miles. Day 5: Two miles. Day 6: Rest or an easyrun. Day 7: Half-marathon.
