Strides for Strength
Olympic trials, recovery and 'breaking the rules' of reverse taper w/ Coach Mich + Erin
Anybody else wanna know what sunglasses everybody was wearing at the Olympic Trials or nah? Coach Mich and Erin debrief their take on the marathon trials and then we dive in to all things post race recovery and reverse taper!
We break up with the rule of 'you need a 14 day taper' as we discuss power of the reverse taper and how it can help you bounce back stronger after a race. We break down the concept of reverse tapering, explaining why it's not a one-size-fits-all approach and how it varies from person to person.
Join us as we share our own experiences with reverse tapering and provide valuable insights on how to navigate this crucial phase of your training. We discuss the importance of listening to your body, optimizing recovery through nutrition, and gradually building your mileage back up. Plus, we dive into the re-introducing things like strength training during the reverse taper period.
