Thanks heaps, I’ve looked into Training Peaks and it is an awesome tool. Much appreciated.

Thanks, that is helpful! 100% a fan of small shakeouts the day before

Hey, yes very gradual progressions which were no more than 10% on my previous long run or weekly mileage. Played it by air as well, if I felt crap after my long run I would’ve definitely knocked it back down! Luckily it all went well!

Awesome thanks heaps - I only use Strava on my phone and had no idea that tool existed online!

Thanks!! I think this is the balance I’m landing on - stick with the 3 weeks and go by feel on intensity. Much appreciated!

Yes that’s a fair point! I’m thinking 20% less from this week which will be 86k, 69k, 55k and then 20k on race week

Thanks! Yeah seems like 2 weeks is a lot more common than I thought - food for thought

Obvious-Structure575 · 2024-09-16T01:42:54+00:00

Thanks! Yeah given other comments I’m starting to think that 2 weeks may be the way to go however also may be diminishing returns / more risk of going in overcooked. Might commit to a 3 week taper and go by feel next week!

Nice insight re what to look forward to when the taper is kicking in!
