What Is A Taper & How Does It Work? | Tapering For Your Next Triathlon

[@Kid_ofthefuture]

Important Tips ! Thank. You Guys. Could please make a video with a comparison of treadmill training and road training for running workouts, how realistic and efficient is the running indoors to prepare for a race in compare to training outdoors. Thank you guys ! You are awesome!

I like mixing them both in. Running outside is harder for me with hotter weather/Sun, hills nutrition and pavement. Throwing in a treadmill once per week seems to help my body recover while still running. , but I do rest of the runs outside, because you just can’t simulated running outside on treadmill. Running outside is also not a boring for me on long runs

Thank you guys!! You answered sooooo many questions that I had about tapering. Truly appreciate all your vids since they’ve gotten me ready for my first 70.3!

Best Taper video yet. Swim the most, then Bike, chill on the running. Got it!

I think tapers are personal too. I taper 3 weeks for an Ironman, my peak week is 16.5hrs and I start the taper after that. I train on all the same days but at a reduction each week. Week 3 is 75%(12hrs), week 2 is 50%(8hrs), race week 25%(4hrs). This is what works for me but for some it wouldn’t be enough of a taper and others would be too much.

Thanks for the useful tips. I just started my taper today, for the Friday's Olympic Distance in Samorin, Slovakia. See you guys there at the Collins Cup.

Great video! I'd love to know more about maintaining fitness/peaking/tapering when you've got multiple races within quite a short space of time.

How do you taper your food intake on rest / recovery days? I find that I eat just as much, if not a bit more, on days that I don’t workout. i.e., I’m paradoxically hungrier if I don’t exercise. Anyone else?
