We had so much fun with this episode (probably because it was a break from potty training)! The main topic was a study that found a correlation between energy availability and performance across a season in collegiate runners. It was a powerful, objective look about what happens when the body is underfueled. You know it's a good study when it makes us add 2 more eggs to the post-podcast frying pan (10 eggs total).And this was truly one of our most joyous episodes ever! Other topics: how potty training and coaching are similar, a follow-up on uphill treadmill workouts, the theory of “just say no to rhabdo” runs, training plans, a study on the kindness v. rudeness of AI prompts, drama at the Kona Women's Ironman Champs, poles and microspikes at Western States, the Chicago Marathon and fueling, Suunto sues Garmin, how to think about long-term growth, taking in gels, taper theory, psychology of fast finishes, and a question on business growth.What happens when our nutrition is largely based on eggs and Leo's chicken nuggets?

Tobi Fritz läuft. Viel. Aber nicht, weil's im Trainingsplan steht – sondern weil er einfach Bock hat. Auf Draußensein. Auf Höhenmeter. Auf Höhenwege. Auf dieses Gefühl, wenn man irgendwo in den Bergen steht und kurz alles andere vergessen ist. Kein Instagram. Kein Status. Kein Getue. Tobi läuft, weil's sich verdammt gut anfühlt – und weil er's verdammt gut kann. In dieser Folge geht's um genau das: Freiheit. Krasse Umfänge. Und warum man auch ohne Struktur ziemlich weit kommen kann. Wir reden über Rennen, über Druck (oder eben keinen), über das, was ihn reizt am Trailrunning. Was für ihn eine richtig gute Strecke ausmacht. Und wie man das Ganze mit Alltag, Job und Leben überhaupt unter einen Hut bekommt. Spoiler: Es geht. Irgendwie. Eine Folge übers Loslaufen, ohne Ziel, aber immer bergauf. Und drüber, wie man dabei trotzdem ankommt. ___________ Diese Folge wird präsentiert von Brooks Running – pünktlich zum Herbst mit dem neuen Cascadia Elite am Start: einem Trailracer, der gemacht ist für lange Distanzen, steile Anstiege und technische Downhills. Kein Schuh für Labernde. Ein Schuh für Laufende. Erhältlich ab März 2026.
In this episode of the Sweat Elite Podcast, hosts Matt Fox and Luke Keogh discuss Luke's preparation for the upcoming Chicago Marathon, including the specifics of his tapering strategy and final workouts. They delve into marathon pacing models, debating the merits of negative splits, even pacing, or banking time, and consider the pros and cons of major marathons versus smaller races for serious runners. The conversation also touches on the psychology of marathons and why runners are drawn to this challenging distance. Luke shares his personal feelings as he enters the taper period, discusses his planned final hard workout, and reflects on the transformative experience of marathon training.

This week's mini episode is all about taper. Fresh off my 20-mile peak run, I share what taper has felt like across my marathons - from the taper crazies to finally learning to enjoy it. We talk about why taper feels so strange, how to keep yourself busy without overdoing it, and why this is the perfect time to rest, reset, and thank your support system before race day. Follow along with the show:
Taper is a reduction in overall training volume, which gives you more time - and a lot of athletes spend that time stressing out. But there are things you can do in those few weeks to make race day substantially easier. In this episode of Coach Quip, we have 11 tips to help you leverage these weeks and turn taper time into race day power.

Por Yaiza Santos Septiembre es el mejor mes de las ciudades, especialmente Madrid y París: las pieles bronceadas brindan el máximo atractivo ciudadano y los cuadernos blancos, la ilusión de que todos los errores están por cometerse. Pero no se resistió a la melancolía del verano, cuyo verdadero final llegó con la muerte de Manuel de la Calva. Volvió a Menorca, donde procuró evitar el macarellisme, y a la tierra minera de su padre, que le sigue pareciendo uno de los paisajes más extraordinarios de la tierra. Sin tiempo para descomprimir, arremetió contra Feijóo. ¿Cómo puede equivocarse ese hombre tanto?, clamó, ante la advertencia del líder del PP de no asistir a la apertura del año judicial. Feijóo va a gobernar –¡tiene que gobernar!–, y lo primero que tiene que hacer es trazar millas y millas de distancia con lo que lo antecedió. Esto es, la pérdida del respeto hacia las formas mínimas de institucionalidad. Le hizo gracia ver cómo los malos del mundo, reunidos en Pekín, hablaron de ese tema que a él tanto le gusta: alargar la vida al máximo. Si ya estaban demonizadas la ciencia y la eugenesia, dijo, ¡ahora sí que vamos apañados! Que Saül Gordillo haya admitido el delito que se le imputaba en un segundo juicio lo llevó a reflexionar sobre los pactos con la fiscalía a cambio de algún beneficio. Tras el primer juicio, donde el acusado se defendió declarándose inocente, él pudo decir que la condena fue injusta, ¿pero ahora? Este tipo de pactos dejan la verdad en suspenso; la justicia que se hace es en el vacío. Comentó un burning paper que acredita la universalidad de los celos retrospectivos y reconvino a Santos por llamar Juana a Juanita. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsWhat does it really take to peak, push through plateaus, and build a championship culture?Alex Ostberg returns to unpack the latest four installments of The Run Down, beginning with “The Science of a Taper,” where the guys explore how dialing back training at just the right moment allows fatigue to fade while fitness shines through, unlocking peak performance when it matters most.From there, they dive into “When the Magic Fades,” a candid look at the moment every athlete experiences when the spark of progress dims. Alex examines why this happens, what it reveals about adaptation, and how runners can stay grounded through the inevitable plateaus.The discussion then turns to “The Hierarchy of Endurance Needs.” Like a pyramid, Alex outlines how consistency and aerobic development form the base, while intensity, specificity, and tapering build upward—offering athletes a clear framework for long-term success.Finally, they tackle “The Hidden Behaviors Behind Championship Teams,” highlighting the unseen habits—accountability, unselfishness, and shared standards—that turn groups of athletes into cultures of excellence.Alex continues to blend science, mindset, structure, and team dynamics in a succinct way, giving readers a rich look at the forces that shape endurance performance.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

We take you on a satirical journey through Taper Town, a psychological landscape every runner visits during the final weeks before race day. Through humor and relatable anecdotes, we map the strange mental territory where reduced mileage creates increased anxiety.• Exploring the "Weather Bureau" where runners obsessively check forecasts and compare contradicting weather apps• Visiting the "Taper Diet Diner" where hunger is constant and every nutritional choice feels monumental• Navigating "Phantom Injury Lane" where mysterious aches appear out of nowhere• Surviving "Retail Row" with its panic-driven purchases of unnecessary gear• Managing the "Domestic Affairs Department" where mood swings and cleaning frenzies reign• Enduring the "Bureau of Unsolicited Advice" from non-runners• Overthinking in the "Packing District" where lists multiply endlessly• Confronting fears in the "Hall of Doubt" where training is second-guessed• Finding solidarity in "Town Square" among fellow tapering runnersGrab your free Taper Town bingo card to track your taper madness!

There are so many opinions on training and nutrition these days. How do you know what's really right for you? Today, we talk about how we've sorted through the weeds and developed our own coaching philosophies based on racing and coaching thousands of athletes. What do you really believe in your heart and gut? It's hard to stay true to those principles with so many outside influences. We get into going with your instincts, learning from mistakes, training in a way that's right for you, racing to your capabilities, and talk about why everyone wants to blame nutrition or the run. Why do you get cramps? Why is your neck and back sore? Taper for dummies.

This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: Hello gentleman, thank you again for one of the best woodworking podcasts available. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Lebanon IN for a few days of training at a tool manufacturer. I won't mention the company, but I got to use a Domino and a Rotex sander for the first time..., but I digress. While I was in the airport waiting for my flight home and enjoying a breakfast sandwich, I looked down at the table and noticed the "purposeful-design" logo branded on the top. This experience gave me two questions. One, what finish did Guy and Brian use on these tables to survive the abuse of so many travelers per day through an airport? Two, during the training we sanded a piece of cherry to 1500 grit, giving a very high sheen to the bare wood. What type of technique or finish would you use on something like that? Thank you for the great podcast, and I'm sorry I didn't have time to say hi while I was in Indianapolis. I waved from the plane, but you probably didn't notice. Josh Hello fellow wood-nerds. I would like some advice on finishing. I've been doing a bathroom remodel. Which means I've spent a very long time doing non-woodworking work and learning new skills and desperately missing my shop time. I'm near the end finally and actually get to do some woodwork to wrap it up. My new floor doesn't quite line up with the floor in the next room and the transition pieces available don't quite suit. So I'm making one custom out of walnut. My question is: what would be a good finish? I don't want it glossy or “plasticy” looking. But of course it will be stepped on and exposed to humidity from the shower so it does need to be durable. Thanks in advance Jason Guys Questions: This one may for Guy specifically but I'm interested in getting a 3D printer and would like your opinion on what I might want to look at. I have a total budget of around $1000 and want something that is very turnkey; I don't have a ton of time to learn how to use the machine and would like that will work for me out of the box. I'm looking at the Bambu Labs p1S; would this be a good starter machine? Thanks again for the great Podcast! Ron Brewer Hi Guys, I am hoping to eventually upgrade my table saw from a jobsite saw. I have heard a little bit of discussion about the advantages of an induction motor over a universal motor but I was wondering if you could provide some insight about voltage for a table saw. Obviously higher power is available with table saws that operate on higher voltages but as a hobbyist I am wondering how much power I actually need. I do make some cabinets and furniture as well as smaller projects. So here is an assortment of questions that are perhaps intertwined: Is the increase in power with a 240V saw worth it? I would also have to get new electrical added to my garage. Is the type of motor related to the voltage? In your opinion are table saws that can be rewired from 120 to 240V a viable option? Would the power actually change with the rewiring? Are there any other considerations that I am not thinking of? Thank you all for your insight. Brad Huys Questions: If you're installing a herringbone floor, do you need to think about chatoyance, in addition to colour and grain pattern, when you're laying out the pieces? Do you want all of the pieces to be oriented to have similar chatoyance? Lauris Hello Guys, I listen to your podcast while driving to and from work. I really appreciate that you stay on track and offer several opinions regarding woodworking without the cackling and inside jokes, poor microphone control etc that other woodworking podcasts seem to have. I build a lot of Shaker style furniture with tapered legs and built my own taper jig, a sled which clamps the leg at the desired angle with the widest part of the cutoff leading into the blade. This has worked very well except that occasionally, the wedge that is cutoff tips into the crack between the saw blade and the insert, jamming and sometimes tripping the saw's overload protection. I have cut a brand new table saw insert with the intention of creating as close to a zero clearance slot as possible but it still is wide enough for the sliver edge of the taper cutoff to drop in. How have you avoided this in the past? Would a reverse orientation of the taper jig be safer such that the thinnest part of the cutoff is cut first and therefore at the back of the blade and the thickest part is the last part cutoff? Thank you! Don
This week on The Marathon Running Podcast, we tackle the most misunderstood phase of marathon training: the taper. Host [Insert Host Name Here] compares this final stage to the difference between cramming and consolidating for a major exam, sharing a personal story about how his own failed taper taught him the hard way that less is truly more. For solo runners like Letty, mastering the taper is especially crucial, as it's the final step to ensure your body is primed for an independent race. We dive into the science of supercompensation, explaining how resting unlocks your full physiological potential by rebuilding muscle, replenishing glycogen, and boosting your immune system.Whether you're battling the "taper crazies" or feeling anxious about the reduced mileage, this episode is a deep dive into the practical blueprint and mental strategies you need to arrive at the starting line feeling strong, confident, and ready for your best race. Trust the process, because the taper isn't about losing fitness—it's about unlocking it for that final, glorious solo effort.Here are our research citations:

Alex Ostberg is back again, ready to unpack the powerful, and often overlooked, mental side of training. In this July roundup, Alex breaks down the four most impactful lessons from his newsletter The Rundown: covering everything from tapering tweaks to placebo power.If you've ever second-guessed your workouts, tried to copy what the pros are doing, or sabotaged yourself before race day—this episode is your antidote. First up, Alex covers why copying elite runners can backfire, and how to train for yourself, not someone else's blueprint. Next, he discusses the placebo effect redefined, how it's not a trick, but a training tool rooted in belief and biology. Then it's onto the taper trap: how overthinking and last-minute adjustments ruin weeks of hard work (and how to stop). Lastly, he examines the hidden role of mindset across every training phase, and how to build routines that boost performance from the inside out. Alex is ready to show how success isn't about replication, it's about personalization; that belief isn't fake; it's a real driver of results; and how trusting the plan matters just as much as writing a good one.Alex is a former D1 All-American, coach, and creator of The Rundown, one of the most practical and honest newsletters in running. His approach blends elite-level insight with grounded, actionable strategies every runner can use.Tap into the Alex Ostberg Rundown Special.

We'll explain some of the ways to shift your mindset to start the day and get more out of your workouts. We look at some of the key indicators with regard to how to predict your race performance. We look at aerobic threshold and compare trainer rides to outside. Topics: Just start Priming your workouts Taper weeks Workouts seem daunting? Making decisions when stress is high Missed workouts Prisoner of the moment Rigid triathletes Taking ownership of the work What gets you excited? What drains you? Making priorities Ball park training Being good with ranges The longer you're in the game . . .

How to train in the week before the regatta race. Timestamps 00:40 A taper is a reduction in training volume so you're ready to race on the regatta day. You should feel you are super-energetic, enthusiastic, you should feel ready for anything. You should find your adrenaline is up in anticipation for the event - this can also be due to nerves. When we train it puts our bodies under stress. The taper removes those stresses. 01:50 How to tapers work? In rowing we have one or two big events in the year - winter long distance and summer sprint racing. You can do more than one sprint peak in the year, remember after every peak you have to rest, reduce training volume as a reset before you go back into hard training again. The taper reduces volume, frequency and intensity of your training. Generally it starts one week before your event, if you're at a multi-day regatta, choose the day of your main event race as the peak day. Count back one week from that event. Depending on your normal training frequency, the taper varies. The workouts in the taper include shorter practices - less time on the water, workouts at higher intensities at or above race pace. Duration of the outing is less but intensity is high. If you train 6 times a week the days of the week you train should be continued in the taper week. 05:00 Travel is the big problem You have to load a boat trailer, fly or drive to the regatta venue and this can disrupt your normal training days. You often cannot train after the boat trailer is loaded. In the Faster Masters Program we recommend you train 3 days a week - Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If you follow this pattern you get a rest day in between each workout. So your taper doesn't need to change from this pattern because you are already getting a lot of rest. Athletes who train 6 days a week do a different taper - the program has an asterisk on the 3 key days. 06:50 Practice your starts Each workout during the taper, you must practice your start sequence. If you are doing many different crews this is good because you get to do starts in your single, pair, quad etc. We also do race pace pieces which mimic different parts of the race. Some from the first half, some mid-race and some in the sprint for the line. Additionally it's great if you can do at least one of these practices on the race course you will be racing on. Familiarise yourself with the course, the warm up area, the start pontoons and rowing in between buoys. Practice backing into the start too. 08:30 Roll over the course workout Do every push you have planned in the race plan at race pace and row at firm pressure, SR 24-26 in between the race pace pushes. This gives bursts of intensity, practice on the course, keeps your blood going and makes you familiar with the race course. Your taper has to cover off your recovery - more rest than normal. Also optimising your psychological and physiological performance like race visualisations. Injury prevention is also part of the purpose of a taper because you're doing less and resting so you're less likely to get injured. Mental and physical freshness brings good energy levels to the event - overcome anxiety and nerves. Hormonal balance is also a benefit. 10:30 Tapers can also produce viruses As athletes taper they can succumb to viruses or allergies as the training pressure comes off your body. Do take extra care over personal hygiene, hand washing and face masks on a plane. Be protective of your own body - you've worked hard for this race event. Don't undermine your performance by succumbing to something which is preventable. Control the things which can be controlled.
Note from Jeannine: Christina's story is one of my favorite all time episodes of the show. Just an incredible story of strength and resilience. This is an encore run of her episode, new episodes return next week after my TedX Talk! Thank you for being patient with me, I love you guys!TRIGGER WARNING******sex trafficking, domestic abuse, assault, SA and pregnancy termination My conversation today with Christina Garofalo will have you both laughing and crying. Christina is a survivor in the truest form of the word. I was blown away by her vulnerability, authenticity and the strength she has shown in escaping the world she was trapped in, making it back to her hometown and family in San Diego AND tapering down from an incredibly high dose of methadone (170 mL). Christina now has a sponsor, works steps, goes on twelve step retreats and does EMDR therapy - she has worked so hard to find healing, peace and safety and I am personally so proud of her.Connect with Christina on InstagramConnect with Christina on TikTokDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!
Send us some LOVE!Claire Schwartz returns to our podcast with a groundbreaking framework for understanding grief recovery - the TAPER technique. For many grieving people, the question "How do I know if I'm getting better?" becomes a haunting refrain as days blur together in what feels like endless pain.Drawing from her 18 years of grief counseling experience, Claire unpacks each element of her systematic approach. What makes this conversation particularly powerful is how Claire addresses the misconception that grief healing follows a predictable timeline. She compassionately explains that while grief never completely disappears, its intensity does gradually taper - hence the technique's name. The TAPER framework applies beyond death-related grief to any significant loss - divorce, job changes, empty nest transitions, or natural disasters - making this episode relevant for anyone navigating major life changes. Whether you're in the raw early stages of grief or years into your journey but feeling stuck, this episode offers both validation and practical guidance.
