Today's episode is all about the weeks leading up to the marathon taper and the taper itself. In these weeks you are pushing yourself to the limits trying to stay on the right side of the line. It's going to be tough!



However, these weeks won't last forever and you aren't the only one finding it tough. There's almost always a point in the cycle where I wonder why I train for marathons but it never usually lasts too long.
