Tapering

Reducing training volume and intensity before a race

What Does This Mean?

Tapering involves gradually reducing training volume and intensity in the weeks leading up to a race to allow the body to recover and peak performance on race day. It helps reduce fatigue, improve glycogen stores, and enhance race readiness.
