Olympic triathlons are one to two. A Half Iron (70.3) is typically two weeks while a full Iron (140.6) is two to three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best to have open communication with your coach to determine the best taper duration for you.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Step Two \u2013 Maintain Frequency<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Don\u2019t reduce the number of workouts you have typically been doing.&nbsp; Particularly in swimming \u2013 it\u2019s important to keep your \u201cfeel\u201d for the water.&nbsp; To a lesser extent the same is true with running \u2013 you want to retain the movements that have been ingrained into muscle memory.&nbsp; To retain efficiency, frequent swim and run training is the best approach.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce the duration of the workouts, not the frequency of the workouts.&nbsp; Strive to maintain your normal workout routine.&nbsp; If you must reduce training frequency during the final week of your taper to accommodate travel to the race, try to limit the reduction to no more than 20%.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Step Three \u2013 Maintain Intensity<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>While reducing volume is important, equally important is retaining intensity in your workouts.&nbsp; Maintaining intensity allows you to minimize any fitness loss during your taper and ensure neuromuscular activation while experiencing fast recovery times because of the reduced volume.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Step Four \u2013 Adjust Intervals<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>You are retaining intensity as you reduce volume, so the structure of your intervals will need to change \u2013 decrease the number and duration of intervals while increasing the rest between them.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, if during you\u2019re your triathlon build you would do a 90-minutes cycling workout that included 5 x 12-minutes in high Z4 with 2 minutes recovery between each interval, a modified taper workout would be 3 x 5-minutes in high Z4 with 4-minutes recovery between each interval.&nbsp; If during your mid-season training you were running 10 x 800m at threshold with a 400m jog recovery, change that to 8 x 400m at threshold with an 400m jog to recover.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Step Five \u2013 Nutrition\/Hydration<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>During the final week of your taper, you should begin \u2018carbo-loading.\u2019&nbsp; From seven down to four days before your race, you should consume at least five grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight. The final three days before your race eat up to 10 grams per kilogram of body weight.<\/p>\n<p>Also, during the final week, start sipping on a quality sports drink each day \u2013 we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitnutrition.us\/\">Infinit Nutrition<\/a> products.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Final Thoughts<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>You\u2019re going to have quite a lot of extra time on your hands as you reduce your training volume during the taper.&nbsp; Avoid the temptation to go play a pick-up basketball game or participate in an impromptu soccer match.&nbsp; By the time you get to your taper you\u2019ll have invested a great deal of time, energy and money into preparing for your race.&nbsp; Don\u2019t ruin it within sight of the prize.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to include travel in your taper plans.&nbsp; I have lost count of the number of athletes that have excellent training consistency leading up to their \u2018A\u2019 race, then the final week of the taper when they are no longer at home, all the consistency goes out the window and their taper falls apart.<\/p>\n<p>A taper effects different athletes in different ways.&nbsp; Some will feel fresh and ready to go almost from the beginning.&nbsp; Others might feel tired and sluggish a couple of days into the taper.&nbsp; Fear not, stick with the plan and you\u2019ll feel like Superman on race morning!&nbsp; It isn\u2019t uncommon to become anxious and want to test out your new-found freshness.&nbsp; Resist the temptation to push up the intensity during your final workouts.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><em>Congratulations!<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>After you complete your event you should allow yourself some time off from structured training.&nbsp; If this race was during the season and you have another \u2018A\u2019 race later in the season, keep the break to no more than a few days.&nbsp; If this was the final race of your season we strongly advocate at least a 2-3 week break from structured training.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, remember why we do this \u2013 because it\u2019s <em>FUN<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve been putting in the long hours and hard training.&nbsp; Now, your \u2018A\u2019 race is looming large on the calendar and with it, the need to taper.&nbsp; Does the thought of a taper cause you to take on a \u2018Deer-in-the-Headlights\u2019 look because you\u2019re unsure how to do it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[60],"class_list":["post-287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-training","tag-taper"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Your Taper Questions Answered!
