Ten Things To Avoid When Tapering For A Marathon
Number 9: Lowering your mileage while neglecting to run some V02 and lactate threshold workouts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. As you taper if you do not run quality workouts at proper intensity your body will lose a lot of your fitness gains. Remember to make these workouts shorter in duration or repetitions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Number 8: Forgetting to take more rest days. A good rule of thumb is to reduce the number of running days by two the second week of your taper and three the week of the marathon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Number 7: Neglecting nutrition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as your body begins to repair itself more nutrients are needed to aid in this process. Increase fruits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], vegetables,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lean protein and fluids during your taper.
Number 6: Forgetting to buy a new pair of running shoes. After training hard your shoes will lose their ability to absorb shock as well as protect your feet and body from injuries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Now is the time to buy new shoes and get them broken in for race day.
Number 5: Cross Training,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], now is not the time to begin cross training. If you have cross trained during your marathon training,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reduce the volume or eliminate completely.
Number 4: Neglecting Sleep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as you begin to feel more and more rested there is a tendency to reduce the number of hours you sleep. Try to stick to a schedule that includes 8 hours of quality sleep each night.
Number 3: Fluids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keeping the body hydrated not only helps your running it also eliminates waste products. As the body repairs itself waste products need to be eliminated as well. Proper hydration aids in this process. Remember to drink an extra 64 oz of water each day.
Number 2: Stress during the week before a marathon can literally wear you out. Let your friends, family and colleagues know that you are going to be unavailable for those extra social and stress causing activities this week.
Number 1: Listening to everyone's advice about how to run your race. After training for up to 20 weeks you get to know what your limits are. Listen to experienced marathoners concerning race tactics such as fluids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], gels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc. Ignore everyone else trying to get you to run their race. If you're a first time marathoner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finish the race in the easiest way possible. More experienced marathoners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], race within your capabilities.
