Episode Notes

Today's episode looks at why running two marathons together isn't an easy thing to do and why a marathon is more than just a training run.

With spring marathons right upon us, I also cover tips for a successful taper and why getting to the start line fit and healthy is the most important thing now.

Finally I look at how a holiday in the taper period can be challenging in its own way but how it can also be very beneficial.

To get my free tapering guide go to www.therunningrules.com/taper

Go to ⁠⁠www.therunningrules.com/services⁠⁠ to find out ways you can get help including a one to one race prep call.
