The Art of the Taper

"The simple fact is most triathletes taper too much. They worry about being super fresh for a race, when in fact ‘rested’ is fine."

"we advise to reduce the intensity in the last 7 – 10 days leading into your race. Maintain some volume in your taper to keep your ‘aerobic engine’ topped up and ready for your big day"

So heisst es aber in einem anderen Artikel


Klick !

"We also rested but didn’t cut any distance of training in any of the three disciplines."

Also mal umgekehrt Tapern: Intensität raus, Umfänge beibehalten?
