Want to race faster? Finish stronger? Stand on the podium? Tune into QT2's podcast series 10 Tips to Crush Your Next Triathlon. In this series, we will be joined by our coaches to talk about all that goes into performing well on race day.
For Episode 9 - Perfect Your Taper, we welcome QT2 Systems Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow. You've trained hard for the past few months, methodically following your training schedule, and now your A race is just weeks away. It's taper time! In this episode, Coach Tim talks all things taper. What is it? Why is it important? How does it impact race day performance? From a practical standpoint, what does a taper look like? Is it the same for all athletes, for all race distances? For an athlete with multiple races, how often should the athlete taper? With building fitness comes fatigue.
The taper is about lifting the veil of fatigue to allow you to access the fitness gained from months of specified training. Without a proper taper, you will not be able to access your fitness.
