Most runners don’t sabotage race day in training. www.run4prs.com They sabotage it in the taper.
After months of hard work, the final 2–3 weeks determine whether you arrive at the start line fresh and primed — or flat and fatigued.
In this episode, Coach Vic explains what the taper actually does physiologically, how to time it correctly, and the most common mistakes that prevent runners from peaking for their fall marathon.
You’ll learn:
• What the taper actually is (and isn’t) • How to time your last long runs and workouts • Why cutting volume too aggressively backfires • Why intensity must stay in the taper • How to avoid cramming late fitness • How to arrive at race day fresh without losing sharpness
The taper doesn’t create fitness — it reveals the fitness you already built.
