It's a week to go until my first race (10k) and I can't decide whether to go to running club for intervals on monday or not! The dilemma: went last Monday & it was great but my legs were knackered until at least Thursday. So don't know whether better to stick to gentle runs this week in the hope of fresh legs for the race OR one last push? What do you guys think?
Also, this may seem like a stupid question but what is the best way to warm up at race? I normally start my runs with fast walk, slow jog, before my normal running pace but don't really want to start the race walking but can't work out where to warm up - if there's 1800 runners near the start all trying to warm up aren't we just going to crash into each other?
