In this episode of DOWN, the official Comrades Marathon podcast, Coach Lindsey Parry and Brad Nadauld finally answer the big question: Is it taper time? (Hint: YES — but it’s more strategic than you think.)

Lindsey breaks down exactly how to taper for Comrades, why it’s different from marathon tapers, how to handle mental anxiety and “phantom injuries,” and what runners should eat, avoid, and adjust in the final month.
