Subject: olympic in 1 week, not sure if rest or no rest any advice?
I have an olympic race in 1 week.  but i am currently working on my HIM race plan; race is only 6 weeks away.  so every minute counts as i am trying to get my body accustomed to the longer race.

anyways, my plan is calling for some long long runs this week.  1 hr 45 min and 1 hr 20 min.  these are the longest runs so far in the 12 week HIM bridge i am doing, should i shorten these workouts before the race or just HTFU and do the full workouts and race a little sore?

My thought would be to not skip these key runs as it sounds like the HIM is your A race. That being said I would try and shuffle the week around to get those longer, key workouts in early in the week so you can get a mild taper (2-3 days) before your oly.

You are obviously not peaking for the Oly., so just train as usual and blow right through it.  You'll have to go into knowing that you will not be fully rested up as the HIM training loads are building, but if your goal is the HIM, than that is normal.
