One week away from running my dream race on the Great Wall of China - Marathon Training Vlog Week 14
Touring Beijing and the ancient-looking-but-not-ancient Gubei Water Town for my last week before the big race - a half marathon on the Jinshanling Great Wall of China !
Race tapering is when you run less or don't run at all in the week(s) leading up to race day. I spent it by roaming around Beijing's temples, Olympic Sports Park, and playing dress up at a traditional looking hotel. I squeezed in a few minutes of running when transferring to human-made village of Gubei Water Town because the scenery there was unworldly and one unforgettable way to view this unique town was to run early in the morning before the crowds.
At this point, still no nerves - I was too focused on the unbelievable sites around China and making sure I don't hurt or wear out myself before the race.
ONE MORE WEEK TO GO!
