Goofing off but eating just as much and trying to get as much sleep as possible? Wish I could do it 24/7!

Awe, maybe one day. I have no desire to race again anytime soon. Maybe this fall or winter, but this summer, it's just all about having fun and keeping my body in shape. I have so many flights and trips planned, I just cannot stay on a steady schedule to even train every day..

#dailymission This is a perfectly timed question. I absolutely despise tapering. I don't think I will do it any more except for really important races.

#dailymission My thoughts on tapering are that I look forward to them, enjoy them, and imagine myself powering for the race as I rest and eat as well as I can.

#dailymission I'm definitely in the minority here, but I kind of love tapering. Sure, I feel sluggish and lazy, and I don't get that endorphin rush that comes with running, but by the tim... read more

I'll taper when I'm dead. :)12 people liked what Brian said-
I do taper a bit, or at least reduce the intensity or number of workouts for an important event. Sometimes though, I don't when I consider that event to be training for a longer race. I try and listen to what this old body is telling me and go for it. I usually go to do my personal best, not to be competitive.

I agree Mindy. I do taper to the extent I change my workouts based on what my body tells me. Every race is different and my goals change based on the situation. I just don't completely back off long runs as part of a formal marathon taper.
