With fall marathon season quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to revisit one of our most popular episodes on a topic that can truly make or break your race: the taper.

My guest is Lynsey Romano, founder of Skyline Run Coaching in Airdrie, Alberta. Since 2017, Lynsey has been coaching athletes through personalized, evidence-based running and strength training programs, helping them reach their goals while enjoying the process of long-term development in the sport. She’s also an accomplished runner herself, having recently broken the 3-hour barrier in the marathon.

In this conversation, Lynsey shares her expertise on tapering—an often misunderstood but absolutely essential part of marathon success. We discuss:

  • What tapering is and why it matters
  • When to start and how to structure it
  • Adjustments to nutrition, hydration, and strength training
  • The role of rest and recovery
  • Managing pre-race nerves
  • Common mistakes to avoid
  • How to individualize your taper based on experience

Whether you’re racing your first marathon or your fiftieth, this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help you show up on race day feeling fresh, confident, and ready to perform your best.
