Yes! Thank you for this!!! I never do "Tapers" but I do lessen my intensity a week before any big event. Like you said, to each his/her own... you gotta find out what works for you.

Great dive into sciency stuff! I'm awful at tapering. I'm never optimally trained to begin with, then I'll either do absolutely nothing for a week, or continue training and just take 2 days off. I'll try some of these tips for my race in 3 weeks!

The mental fatigue is strong. I appreciate your sciencey (spelling) video and the timing of it, at least for me is quite appropriate.

Without seeing these studies, i've known that I perform best if I stop running for about a month
