I'm about two weeks away from the ultra I've been preparing for. I had a few setbacks (plantar fasciitis, a few days lost to a mystery virus), and while I feel physically fit, I worry that at some point during the hours of running I will start dwelling on my less than optimal preparation. I'm trying to remind myself that nobody ever has a perfect race and that I should just control what I can. I suppose I should start tapering around this point, but I also feel like I should maybe plan one last really long training run to help with my confidence. We'll see if I can find the time this week.
good luck!
