Marathon Training Taper Period

Read on and discover another tip on how to get the most out of your taper period:

Because you are not doing as many miles during your taper period that you are not drinking as much water as you were when you were training to your full potential.

The impact this has is that your body does not remain as hydrated as it should be. Having your
body fully hydrated will improve your marathon performance and reduce your chances of hitting
the wall in the later stages of your marathon race.

It is for this reason that you should remain conscious of fully hydrating your body during the
taper period even if you don't feel the need to drink as much water as you previously did.

Ideally you should aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water during the taper period in order to keep your body fully hydrated and therefore in peak physical condition for your marathon race.

Marathon Bible

"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing
it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." -- Earl Nightingale

I truly believe that today is your time to achieve all you want to achieve in your
life. You wouldn't be here today reading this if you didn't want to run a marathon. It is inevitable over time that you will do this. The question remains. When? Decide now to do it today. You can do this!
