π₯ TAP SAVE FOR YOUR NEXT TAPER WEEK π₯
The week of an ultra marathon is not the time to completely disappear from the gym.
You do not need to sit on the couch for seven days straight to be ready for race day.
Your body needs movement to stay primed and loose.
I still show up. Every single day.
Here is how I keep moving during race week without burning out:
ποΈ Light Weight Training: I lower the intensity and drop the weight, but I keep the movement patterns alive to maintain muscle activation.
π§ Pilates & Sculpt: Excellent for deep core stability, alignment, and low-impact conditioning.
π Foam Rolling & Mobility: Dedicated time to roll out tight muscles, flush out toxins, and increase blood flow.
Meet with my chiropractor to stay properly aligned
Meet with my massage therapist to work out any muscle tightness
The key to a successful taper is keeping it light, but keeping the habit. You built the discipline over months of training. Don't drop it now. Show up for your mind. Show up for your muscles. Let's get to that starting line feeling fresh, not rusty. πββοΈπ¨
