Taper week without the guesswork
Keep your schedule familiar when the urge to add one last hard run hits.
Stick to the plan you chose
Use the taper in your training plan. Put the remaining sessions on your calendar so a quiet day doesn’t turn into an extra workout. Avoid using a late time trial to prove fitness.
Give spare time a job
Check shoes and socks, read the event guide and charge the watch. Set a cutoff for packing so you can stop thinking about it.
If a session gets missed
Look at the rest of the week as written before moving anything. For pain, illness or a concern about racing, seek individual advice instead of asking an online thread to clear you.
