WHAT’S THE BEST TAPER? Interesting article by Amby Burfoot about tapering, citing research on British runners, but it would have been more interesting to have a look at what the elites of other nations do. I definitely agree with cutting quantity while maintaining quality during the taper. Most of my training programs offer a 3-week taper; one exception being my Boston Bound program with a 2-week taper under the assumption that if you are good enough to grab a BQ, you dont need to taper as long as novices. When I was younger and faster, I found that a 10-day taper worked for me.
