The Taper Explained: Why Runners Cut Mileage Before a Race | Vlogmas Day 11

Описание: DAY 11: THE TAPER The Taper is the essential period (usually 10 days to 3 weeks) before a major race (Half Marathon or Marathon) where you drastically reduce your training volume. You aren't gaining fitness during this time—you are letting the fitness you've already built settle in!

In this video, I break down:

🎯 The definition: Why reducing mileage is critical for muscle repair and maximizing glycogen stores.

🧠 The Structure: How much mileage to cut back for a Half vs. a Marathon.

🏃 Intensity: Why you still need short, fast bursts (like Strides) during the Taper.

🤪 Taper Madness: What is it, why you feel weird aches, and how to trust the process!

✅ Taper Dos and Don'ts: The one thing you should never try for the first time during the Taper!

Trust your training, manage the madness, and get ready for a fast race day!
