It’s officially taper time, and with Comrades just around the corner, this is where smart decisions matter most.
In this episode of UP, we talk about what to do if you ran Cape Town Marathon three weeks out from Comrades, how to adjust your training if your legs are sore, and why recovery now is more important than squeezing in extra kilometres.
We also cover what to do if you’re feeling sick, carrying a niggle, or worried about losing fitness during the taper.
The key message: when in doubt, leave it out.
A few days of rest now can make the difference between arriving on race day healthy or risking your entire Comrades.
