The Science Behind Tapering
Manage episode 358200374 series 2940408
We’re back! In this episode, Finlay and new co-host Jack discuss the science behind tapering: what tapering is and why tapering is so important before race day.
While (as you’ll hear) every taper is highly individual, it typically involves the gradual reduction in training load (both distance and intensity) in the final two to three weeks ahead of an event, such as a marathon.
Finlay and Jack delve into why running and tapering are equally essential parts of a complete training cycle – covering the dos and don’ts of how to taper effectively, why rest and recovery leads to improved performance, and how trusting in the taper gets easier with experience!
00:19:40 - Optimal weekly decreases in training load of approximately 25 percent.
00:25:57 - Top tips to make the most of your taper - kit, sleep, nutrition and more.
