Quote MessageBefore a big run I'd usually advise a couple of taper runs - dropping down to 30% of regular training for a reduction in fatigue. Eddie doesn't have time for that sort of recovery though...
Quote MessageI need him to appreciate the enormity of what he's doing on tomorrow. He'll need to draw on whatever reserves he has left...

Over dinner last night Eddie got a call from Tim Peake, the British astronaut who is currently up in the International Space Station. We knew Eddie has support all across the globe, but now we see he has support beyond it! It can't be bad knowing you've got someone looking down from the stars on your progress.
