Leading into your key event or race period, the final steps in your preparation involve a balance of rest and recovery.

Generally, this consists of beginning to taper 7-10 days from your event and balancing training with a mix of recovery and intensity. Along with a reduced training volume, a workout featuring a calculated combination of intensity will have you in peak form for race day.

Ideally, this workout would be completed 3-4 days before your race, with adequate recovery before and after the session.
