Marathoners typically taper or decrease mileage and intensity in the last few weeks before their race.

But studies show that less than 40% of runners are actually optimizing their taper.  How can you be one of the runners doing it right?

Let’s find out.

On today’s show, I’ll explore

  • what the ideal marathon taper should look like,
  • the common mistakes that runners make during taper, and
  • how to get your mind ready and avoid the “Taper Tantrums”

I’ll also cover the best guidelines for marathon taper nutrition based on your size and needs.

By the end of the show, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to have a successful taper, setting you up for your best marathon yet.  

And don’t worry, you don’t have to take notes or try to memorize all of this!  If you want all the details on how to run your best marathon, including taper, just sign up for my free 12 day email course at www.theplantedrunner.com/marathon.
