Increasing mileage all the way up until race day
Why It’s Bad: A marathon is one test you can’t cram for. You actually want to reduce the volume of your training for a short time leading up to the race. Known as tapering, this resting period will reduce your risk for injury and help you perform your absolute best when it matters most.
The Fix: Focus on cross training, nutrition and recovery during tapering to stay as fresh as possible.
Cheers and keep running!
