Last run?
Hi MC

I have experimented with lots of things over the past 12 years. My best method is to run my final trot on a Thursday for a Sunday race. I normally do 4-5 miles with about 4 x 100m strides (a sort of build up to a sprint and build down again, all in the 100m).

However, you need to try different things each time you race. I met a guy in Lanzarote who says he races best on a Sunday AFTER racing the Saturday!!! That's the incredible difference on the two ends of the scale for people. It's great that we're all different but makes it no easier for newer runners needing advice!

3 days rest would see you right though I am sure. I'm running tomorrow as described above and racing HM on Sunday in Felixstowe, Suffolk, so good luck to both of us eh.
