Tapering: Avoid the Pitfalls and Perform Your Best on Race Day : FITBLOGGER
This is the word that most endurance athletes fear. Why? We fear it because of the idea that we are no longer going to be training 15 to 20 hours per week and our bodies will be craving those workouts. We fear the word taper because the days of consuming 4,000 calories are over and having to watch what we eat even closer than we already do is about to kick in. We fear tapering because it is the new unknown.
