Part 4/6:
Sunday: Rest days will become a standard feature as I progress, especially leading to peak weeks, facilitating recovery and addressing fatigue.
Peaks and Tapering
Among the critical aspects of my training is the peak endurance run at week 10, where I'll tackle a 32 km run, followed by four weeks of tapering. In the past, I ran my longest distance too early, leaving too much time to taper and resulting in restless energy. This time, proper timing should optimize both my preparation and recovery.
The Importance of Nutrition and Gear
While physical training takes precedence, attention to nutrition, sleep, and the right gear cannot be overlooked.
