Re: Triathlete
Commander - I'm after some free advice please, not triathlon but marathon related - would you recommend training in the week leading up to the race? I'm following a plan which winds down in the last week, but a few people have said to me I shouldn't do anything in this last week, but I would have thought a few short runs would keep me limbered up?

Doing nothing is counter productive. You will eat (and think you are over eating) and you will feel sluggish.
Go to the gym or for a relaxing swim.
Whatever, don't just rest for a week. Personally, I'll be training the day before my Ironman.

Re: Triathlete
Thanks Commander, that was my original plan, I just had some doubts after one or two people had suggested otherwise.
I'll rest afterwards in a pub.
