Thanks for posting Brendan. No, I’m only tapering for my A races which are 4 x XC Marathon and 1 12hr at the end of July.
I do race a once a month Xc with no taper and have recently completed an 8 week once a week local series. This was treated as an hour of training intensity. No taper here either just part of my training program.
Interestingly whilst I’ve been posting I’ve had a serious throat infection and cough after my 3rd Marathon last Sunday, and have lost 1lb just sitting and getting through the malaise…
