O polimento não é descanso… é estratégia. É nessa fase que seu corpo elimina a fadiga, recupera energia e chega pronto para performar no máximo no dia da prova. Se você tem medo de treinar menos antes de correr… precisa entender isso. 🎥 Vídeo completo explicando tudo já está no meu canal do YouTube. Vai lá assistir. #corrida #maratona #meiamaratona #polimento #tapering runningtips

🇩🇪↓ | here how to do it right!! Tapering is one of the most misunderstood phases in endurance training. Research shows that performance improves when fatigue is reduced while maintaining physiological adaptations. This is how you taper: – Reduce training volume by ~41–60% – Maintain training intensity – Maintain training frequency – Duration: ~8–14 days (up to 21 days depending on athlete) ⭐️KEY⭐️ INTENSITY, VOLUME & DURATION This approach improves time-trial performance and time to exhaustion, even without changes in VO₂max. The goal of tapering is not to gain fitness. it’s to remove fatigue and optimize performance ❤️‍🔥 … Tapering ist einer der am meisten missverstandenen Phasen im Ausdauertraining. Studien zeigen, dass sich die Leistung verbessert wenn Ermüdung reduziert wird, während Trainingsanpassungen erhalten bleiben. So machst du’s richtig: – Trainingsumfang um ~41–60 % reduzieren – Intensität beibehalten – Trainingsfrequenz beibehalten – Dauer: ca. 8–14 Tage ⭐️GANZ WICHTIG⭐️ INTENSITÄT, UMFANG UND DAUER Ziel ist nicht fitter zu werden, sondern Ermüdung abzubauen und die Leistung zu optimieren ❤️‍🔥 … @asicsfrontrunner | AD #ASICSFrontRunner2026 #halfmarathon #halbmarathon #tapering #running

Tag 79 auf dem Weg zum Frühjahrsmarathon 🏃🏻‍♂️💯👊🏻 Und mal ganz ehrlich, ich habe mich schon an anderen Tagen stärker gefühlt, als heute. Ich bin jetzt in der Tapering Phase, es sind noch 12 Tage bis zum Marathon und heute stand nochmal eine ziemlich intensive Einheit in meinem Plan von Coach @philippseipp 1:15 Stunde auf dem Laufband mit 2x30min bergan mit 4-5% Steigung laufen. Die Beine sind gerade alles andere, als frisch, aber ich habe es durchgezogen. Was machst du, wenn du mal so einen Durchhänger hast, lässt du das Training dann aus oder versuchst du immer alle Einheiten zu machen? Am Sonntag werde ich euch dann übrigens verraten, bei welchem Marathon ich starten werde 🤗 . . . #marathon #halbmarathon #running #tapering

Ad Tapering is the scariest time for many runners- random niggles, super fatigued what does it really mean? Does it mean you’re marathon ready? @sportsdirectrunning #Marathon #Tapering #MarathonTraining

Test Gara - 100 freestyle Oggi ho provato un 100 come se fossi in gara. Ho volutamente gestito le forze in modo strano anzi in modo sbagliato. Questa la tattica: primo 50 tenendo un buon ritmo di bracciata e spingendo un po’, uscito dalla virata ho rallentato il ritmo ( si vede visibilmente dal ritmo della nuotata che cala drasticamente ). per circa 20 metri. Questo è un palese errore perché rallentare e poi ri velocizzare il ritmo non è mai facile in più in un cento non si deve mai rallentare. Poi dai 70 metri in poi ho ripreso a spingere provando a chiudere in velocità. Risultato : 1º 50 : 24”6, 2º 50 : 26”8 = 51”5 Finito il 100 non ero stanco, felice del passaggio, curioso della gestione del secondo 50. Ovviamente nella gara ufficiale NON farò così. 😎 Testarsi è importante, anche provando strategie nuove. #sprintrevolution #age42 #tapering #worldchampionshipmasterdoha

Tres semanas antes del maratón comienza la descarga, también llamada tapering. Se trata de recuperarse de toda la preparación pero sin perder calidad. Es progresiva, nunca abrupta. Es la manera de llegar entrenado y descansado a la carrera. #descarta #tapering #marathontrainning

Survived the monster 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️ Ready for #tapering @chevronhoustonmarathon —— #PUMARUNNING #WORKOUT #TREADMILLRUNNING

TAPERING FOR YOUR FIRST MARATHON ❤️‍🩹 Tapering is not stopping. It’s controlled recovery with intention. 1️⃣ Reduce volume not rhythm In the first week of taper reduce total mileage by 15-20%. For example: Before taper phase, if your tempo runs usually last 10-12KM. During taper period, it should only be at 8-10KM only. On race week reduce volume by around 30%. You still run. You still move. What changes is how much not how often. Intensity stays but duration shortens. This keeps your legs sharp while allowing fatigue to drop. 2️⃣ Taper your strength and conditioning too This is not the time to chase PRs or lift heavy. Deload your strength sessions. Lower the load reduce total sets and focus on quality movement. Shift your focus toward ⬇️ - Mobility - Activation - Stability - Light plyometrics if already part of your program Your goal is to feel loose, strong, and responsive not sore. 3️⃣ Taper mentally not just physically. Mental fatigue is real. Overthinking pace, nutrition, and race outcomes creates unnecessary stress. Use taper time to: ⬇️ - Review your race plan - Visualize execution not perfection - Limit last minute advice from too many sources Confidence comes from trusting the work you already did. 4️⃣ Create your race day checklist early. Do not wait until the night before. - Race gear (singlet & shorts, shoes, belt bag) - Energy Gels, electrolytes, salt sticks/tabs - Race bib (if available) A checklist reduces anxiety and keeps race week calm and controlled. Race day rewards patience not panic. 💯 #MarathonTraining #Marathon #Running #Tapering #runningtips
