Hi All
So with many of you starting or soon to be starting your tapers for your main competition of the season. I thought it would be interesting to hear about certain things you do on taper, or things you don't do.
For example during hard training I always take the stairs over the elevator when given the choice. Another one I do is with 2 weeks to go before my taper meet I always wear shoes when I leave the house, no more sandals. I feel my legs are looked after better by walking in shoes than with sandals.
Let me know if you have some things in your daily routine that you switch up and why you do it?
I walk as little as possible during taper.As a breaststroker, having fresh legs is very important.I especially hate to walk at the meet,and more particularly don't want to walk upstairs.I don't understand how some people can be fine about sitting at the top of the bleachers if they have to walk up and down them several times during the meet. At pools like Federal Way and Indy I always take the elevator.
