This is not what you think! It is taper week and I spend most of my preparation by eating (high complex carb, a little protein to continue the healing), drinking (lots of water), sleeping (at least 8 hours) and actually doing little running. These are the things that work well for me the week prior to the marathon. I feel a bit heavy on race morning but it helps a ton at mile 20!! I also like to run on the treadmill the week before (or a soft surface) to do what I can to not induce damage on the legs.
I will run 3 5-milers this week and then take a 26.2 mile jaunt through the desert!
