Although the Super is 14 km's long, I know my time running consistant for 12 will be pretty much on par with what I hope will be my race day time. Also, burpees by the truckload. At least 100 a day. Apart from stretching and FOOOOOOD, go for a few light walks. I typically feel miserable and don't enjoy it, but for me it helps a lot. 20-30 mins of a walk for 2-3 times after the Beast.
