ULTRAMARATHON TAPER TIPS

Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed this video!
Many thanks to this week's sponsor, #EmmaSleepUK. I swear I have been sleeping insanely well since switching over our mattress which is great timing for my ultras! They've got an AMAZING deal which will give you up to 55% off anything (apart from bundles) - use the code FLORASLEEP: serv.linkster.co/r/w7NxfxNX4
Taper week can be a bit of a panic (if you're anything like me) so I thought I'd share my top tips for taper week! I also asked you lot what your tips were so I'll put those in the comments too :)

    Thanks for the tips! My taper is a work in progress. It's chips (crisps?) on the sofa for 2 weeks, or is 4 days of barely reduced workouts. Moderation is a struggle for me! 😆 wow, those stats for the 4 days are incredible, but I'm sure you'll smash it! Headed over to strava to see the latest run.

    Yeah, for me if I do, I like a more restful taper bunch of easy runs sounds strange, but I always get sick and then I’m starting my marathon or whatever race feeling under the weather but if I make my sessions like he just said a short, but hard work out to do a lot of strides Maybe some 400 repeats and but keep my volume low I’m using entering into race and I only do it when we keep her to 10 days max but I’m entering into the race refreshed but also I feel strong and still don’t always do good but that’s my problem but I’m only commented because I made it so many mistakes. Like I said, I was always feeling sick and run down.

    Good luck for Tribe Run for Love, Fingers are crossed for your challenge! Video came in just at the right time - HM Race on Saturday at the amazing #Rennsteiglauf which I can only (once again 😉) highly recommend checking out- the Marathon race has been voted Germany‘s Marathon of the year 6 times in a row and they have a unique 73,9k distance on offer! All through the beautiful scenery of the Thuringan forest 🏕 Maybe one for your Race List next year (which will be the year of the jubiliee - 50th #Rennsteiglauf 🥳 I‘m sure you‘ll smash your runs and thanks again for the Video and all the tips!

    Hey! To stop sloshing, suck all the air out of your water bladder. Then, no matter the level of water there will be no annoying sloshing sounds!

    My tips: Don't worry about weight gain in the taper. Don't carb load - its superfluous & not needed - taper and your normal diet gets the glycogen in your legs. (in the old days, people use to deplete first to retain more carbs in compesation in carb loading. The problem is the depletion increases your risk of getting sick. So people stopped that but the myth / lore of carb loading still remains)
