• 149: How to Taper Well for a Race or Competition

  In this episode, I break down how I approach tapering for big efforts, especially an Ironman. We talk about pulling back volume and intensity without losing fitness, handling the mental itch to keep pushing, and why that restraint actually sets you up to win. I also walk through how I set up my carb load to top off muscle glycogen so I’m not leaving anything on the table. I share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and the practical strategies I use so you show up on race day.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction01:15 The Importance of Tapering03:46 Defining a Taper06:40 Benefits of a Proper Taper18:34 Common Mistakes During Tapering29:11 Setting Up a Proper Taper33:10 Tapering Training Volume35:21 Race Week Training Schedule36:26 Experiencing the Taper46:35 Carbohydrate Loading Strategy58:28 Final Thoughts on Tapering and Carb LoadingORDER MY BOOK HERE:https://www.amazon.com/Go-One-More-Intentional-Life-Changing/dp/1637746210FOLLOW:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://bpn.team/memberIG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitness
