How the taper works
In the final week to ten days the plan cuts volume while keeping a little intensity, so you shed fatigue without going flat. You arrive on the start line fresh and sharp, not tired from cramming sessions you cannot recover from.
Why race prep matters
In the final weeks your training needs to become more specific. You practise pacing, handle stations under fatigue, rehearse race-style combinations, and reduce volume at the right time so you do not arrive tired. For how to structure a half or full mock race workout in training, see our race simulation guide.
Woohoo! does all of that for you, week by week, into race day.
