Calculate your training volume reductions leading up to race day to maximize recovery and performance.
The Science of Athletic Tapering
**Tapering** is the practice of reducing exercise workload prior to a competition. Systematically decreasing weekly mileage or hours allows your muscles to heal micro-tears, restores glycogen reserves, and lets your nervous system reach peak readiness.

No! Tapering means cutting volume (distance/time) but keeping your workout intensity (speed/weights) identical to keep your muscles sharp.
A standard marathon taper is 3 weeks, while shorter 5K/10K races only need a 1-week taper.
