❌ SCREW UP THE TAPER
•
Half marathon training is a LOT of work - and one of the worst things that can happen is showing up on race day with sore or tired legs because you failed to taper correctly.
•
🚨 TAPER TIPS 🚨
🗓️ SHOULD BE A FEW DAYS - 2 WEEKS: Depending upon how long you’ve been running, how many half marathons you’ve done, and whether you’re using the race as training or a goal race.
⬇️ REDUCE MILEAGE & INTENSITY: For the first week, cut mileage back by about 20-30% the first week & 50-60% during race week.
💪🏼 LIMIT STRENGTH WORK: Especially lower body. During race week, stick to mobility, stretching, and low impact exercises.
💦 FOCUS ON FUEL & HYDRATION: You don’t need to do anything crazy, just be mindful about drinking a little more water & getting some good carbs and protein to help your body recover & prepare.
🧠 YOU WON’T LOSE FITNESS: I promise you. Try to remind yourself that you’ve already put in the work, and you don’t want to jeopardize it by showing up exhausted on race day.
