Running On Carbs PodcastCoach ValRunningRaceTaper

You’ve trained hard for months and you’re nearing the final weeks leading up to your race. How do you get to the finish line in tip-top athletic shape? You back off your training.

What?!

Yep, that’s right. You taper back your overall volume and prepare your body for the hardest work to date…the RACE!

In episode 32, Coach Val takes you through the taper weeks from nutrition to strength training. She talks about what to do during a taper, and what not to do. Follow these tips and you’ll be running strong come race day!

In this episode, Coach Val kicks off the November 1st launch of the Running on Carbs World Vegan Month Pledge.
