Marathon Training Taper

Here's another marathon training tip:

The goal of your marathon training program should be to increase your weekly mileage to around 35-45 miles per week at around 3-4 weeks before your marathon. The reason for getting to this level is so that you can then implement a tapering period into your training so that you will be in peak physical condition for race day.

If you are still increasing your training right up to the day of your marathon then you are not giving yourself the best chance to reach your potential in the race. You need a taper period to leave your muscles fresh and conditioned for your race.
