Just seven days away from my race - my first ever 10k. I've been doing some great training runs so I know my goal time is within reach.
Today I did one last tempo run. Then for next week I'm planning on doing just a couple of short, easy runs to keep my legs rested for the big day. I plan on running no more than 3 miles on each run. On Wednesday's run (the last before head out of town) I'll throw in a few striders. Strides should be about 75 to 100 yards during which you gradually run faster til you're almost at top speed then gradually slow back down. Strides will help stimulate your legs and get you ready for your end-of-the-race sprint.
