Your Last chance to ensure you get it right on Marathon Day

Congrats on securing your place at the London Marathon! It's time to prepare for the race after weeks of training. Don't underestimate the importance of the final week before the event in achieving your goals.

During the taper period, the main objective is to optimise your performance by gradually reducing the volume of your daily training. This reduction helps in alleviating the accumulated fatigue from consistent training sessions, while ensuring that the progress achieved over the previous weeks and months is maintained. Effective planning is essential to ensure that your body has undergone the necessary physical adaptations before entering the taper phase, enabling you to showcase your peak performance levels as the fatigue dissipates.

Prepare Your Body and Mind

Its now time to decompress and fully absorb the training to ensure that all the supercompensation benefits can be realised on the big day. It may be the difference between thriving or just about surviving.

“The training you do on the final week is not getting you any “fitter” before race day”

Avoid last-minute cramming before a marathon. Hard training within the final week won't boost your performance on race If anything it could actually take away. It takes about 8-12 days for the body to fully adapt to training. Stay active but be wise in your approach.

This 5 night retreat will ensure you prepare optimally for the London Marathon. Arrive at the start line fresh and ready to adjust to any race challenges.
