Raceday week, what should I do? (Read 481 times)

I'm having my 10k race on sunday 22 july, which is about 6 days time. I dunno what type of runs I shld go for during the days prior to the race. I was thinking of doing short slow runs on tuesday and wednesday and then chill back until raceday. What do you guys think? And is adding intervals, say on thurdays, a good idea?

If you do any intervals at all on race week, do them early (Mon/Tues) or not all. Thursday is way too close to the race. Just do nice easy running, and throw in some strides (100~150m bursts of controlled speed) into your easy runs after you're well warmed up. Also, for a Sunday race, if you plan to take a day off prior, Friday is the best day to rest. Then run ~3 miles real slow and easy on Saturday. There is a tendency to be flat the day after a day off, so it's better to run easy the day before a race then take it off.
