Micro-Taper Before Benchmark Tests

MetodologíaDe la app

3-day mini-taper before any benchmark (5K test, race): drop volume, keep brief race-pace strides, eat carbs aggressively.

Fases:Todas las fases

Por qué

Supercompensation: fatigue dissipates while fitness holds. Glycogen tanks fully refilled. Neuromuscular pathways stay primed via brief strides.

Pasos

  1. T-3: 50% volume reduction, no intervals, 3×100m strides at goal pace
  2. T-2: 20 min easy run + 4×80m strides, eat carbs 3:1 with protein
  3. T-1: rest or 20 min walk, hydrate, early sleep, lay out gear
  4. T-0: light breakfast 2.5h before, dynamic warm-up, even split goal
