Your Endurance Lifestyle. Redesigned.

I recently wrote an article on the benefits of standing at work. I subsequently received quite a few emails and twitter messages about standing at work, and thought another post would be the best way to address the challenges people raised. Please read the original post here and feel free to send me feedback via the comments section or by posting to Twitter with @pmccrann.

As the early big races of the season are approaching, it’s time to once again consider perhaps the hardest part of your training: the taper. While almost every triathlete has heard of tapering, very few actually get it right. This article has two goals: to help you understand your personal needs and cues for tapering based on your event, and to give you active steps you can take to implement your taper.

There are different times throughout your year when you need to be able to prioritize your training in a way that is commensurate with the results you want to achieve. There will come a time in your training cycle when you will need to get really strong and focus in order to make sure the results that you want on race day are readily available to you.
