    hmmm...Taper?

    Howdy Girls...
    Could you bonce me some ideas about how you handle your taper.
    I am 4 weeks out. My race will be equal in time to an Olympic distance race.
    Just wondering what you all do.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ruth

    Ruth, I taper for 2 weeks leading into an A race, but my A races are little longer than yours. So I'd say you should be good with 7 to 10 days taper. I'll get you some more details beyond this in a bit. Have to go look a few things up.

    Thanks Yoda. I like the sound of 7-10 days. I can do that.
