With four weeks to go many runners will have completed their last Sunday long run before they commence bringing this important run down in distance. While the overall length of your runs generally get shorter with slightly fresher legs you will notice that the pace increases. This is good but don't over do it, the taper also provides an opportunity for your body to fully recover from the pressures that you have placed it under in your marathon and half marathon preparation.
Make sure, during this colder weather, that you accelerate gradually during tempo runs and that your easy runs are easy and don't simply become another hard hit out. Recovery is as important, if not more so, than the actual training.
