Episode 702: Rest Before the Rush Is a Strategy

In endurance sports there is a practice called tapering. In the weeks before a major race, athletes deliberately reduce their training volume.

Not because they are giving up. Because they understand that showing up to the biggest demand of the season at full capacity requires strategic rest beforehand.

In this episode I make the case for applying that same logic to the most demanding stretch of your year. The instinct when a big season approaches is to push harder beforehand. The smarter move is to pull back deliberately and build your reserves before the season asks you to spend them. I share how I apply this in my own life and offer a practical way to identify your personal race day and design a taper around it.
