Marathon and Beyond Monday: Hey, Back Off!
Most endurance athletes are familiar with the concept of tapering — reducing your training prior to an important event for optimum performance — but how much is best? And what about the intensity of your workouts prior to that goal race? Those are some of issues coach Jason Karp addresses in his Marathon & Beyond article, “Hey, Back Off!” It’s this week’s Marathon & Beyond Monday edition.

The Week in Multisport
Imagine this: a professional athlete who has secured a win, stops and waits 5 minutes before crossing the finish line to ensure that her competitors finish close enough to earn their paycheck (per Ironman rules.) You don’t have to imagine it because it really happened at the Boulder 70.3. In this special Week in Multisport edition with Barry Siff of Daily Triathlon, we get Siff’s insights on the matter, as well as the thoughts of professional triathletes Becky Witinok-Huber and Christie Sym.
