Firstly, apologies if this has been brought up before. I'm sure it must have been covered at some time over the years.
I'm in the 70-74 year age group, and on October 28th I'll be swimming a 1500m freestyle, and hoping for a good time. I'm training twice a day, covering between 7,500m and 9,000m daily.
The question is - How long should I allow for the taper? I feel as though I could train right up to the event. Do you think a short taper of about 3 days would be sufficient, or does it need to be longer. I'd be keen to hear how you would approach this.
Thanks
Boys and girls, thank you so much for the advice. I’m swimming every day and really think I should have one day off in the week. At my age I still don’t do anything sensibly! I’ve got a very big set of 200s to do tonight, then I’ll have to re-think. Thanks again.
