Runners! What Do You Do the Week Before Your 10K?
I am running my third 10K on the Fourth of July. I'm interested to know what kind of schedule you follow the week before a 10K. Last year, I trained too hard the week before and it killed my PR.

Workout time?
Okay so I've been working out for an hour a day alternating between total cardio and strength training. The trainer at the gym says that really you shouldn't work out for more than 45 minutes.
