We unpack what a proper recovery week should feel like, why less is more right now, and how to trust the work you’ve already done. Plus, we dive into one of the biggest concerns runners face at this stage: what to do if you feel a niggle, get sick, or something doesn’t feel quite right.

Should you push through? Back off? Panic?

We’ll guide you through how to manage injuries and illness in these final weeks, how to reduce your risk, and how to arrive at the start line feeling confident, healthy, and ready.
