WHAT IS TAPERING?
THE FINAL DAYS before the big event can be a bit of a mystery. It takes a few runs at it to get it right. Even then...
... our bodies and prep change over time.
We evolve.
Get better at dialing it in.
My rules of glove covered thumbs...
- have fun
- cut the volume in half
- do only efforts that make me feel fast
... seems to work pretty well.
After Saturday's ride,
Strava had my form at -22.
After Sunday's walk,
-9.
This evening after playing on MTB,
-4.
The app will say my fitness is dropping as well...
- my body is healing
- my stores are replenishing
- my mind and emotional energy resonstituting
... but we all know that's a fools a number.
Five more days until Sea Otter.
