I am a little late coming in on this, but that plan is what I would do bt. I always taper to some degree before every race. I am older than most of you guys, so that factors in, but I think I would probably do exactly what you are doing.

My first race of importance is in 10 days, and I am starting my taper now, taking the volume down a notch. This weekend I will do a shorter race intensity workout and then taper it down from there.

I am an off road athlete, my race will be equal to an olympic road race.



God Luck, and keep us posted.
