I have a goal marathon run and a swim meet 1 week apart this spring. Any thoughts on how to taper for both of them? The run will be first, and although I do the distance or greater regularly and bounce right back to training, this will be a "race" and I will probably be a little more tired. Right now I am only swimming twice a week, mostly sprint work. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Which age group are you in? If you are in 25-29, then yes, please take it out slowly. If not, then, eh, dying on a 100 fly is not the worst thing ever: the third lap hurts no matter what.
