Guest EPCC Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 George It's simple and also based on A or B priority races you should taper prior to an event depending on order of importance So at this time in his training cycle he should be doing race like efforts high intensity Assuming its a priority race he should then taper this means reducing volume rapidly to less than 50% but keeping the intensity of the sessions high Got that bit yes Evidence from best practice suggests that two days before the race have a rest day the day before the race do a short duration high intensity session Got that bit The tapering period should not be total rest but a big reduction quickly of duration whilst keeping training sessions going These sessions should be high intensity Simples Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I see. I take it the BC level 3 coaching course spends a few hours on punctuation? Might prevent some of your guinea pigs ending up in hospital with exhaustion. one more thing........ Richie Cross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Chung, Troon as posted but by the direct route, as I didn't have a wheel to hide behind. I'm glad I didn't ask MacB whether I should have treated the ride as a training ride or active recovery as my brain was tapering for the return to work, the day before tomorrow but after yesterday.....I think! More power to you MacB! just ignore the detractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
