Just another reason I am not a model marathoner...I would selfishly rather keep getting my endorphin high the weeks before a marathon than tone it down and increase my chances of performing well on race day.<br /><br />I am going to go read that tapering article, and unless it really convinces me, I will probably taper for like 4 days...RoseRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771324416061217852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-69993003232552217072011-03-02T09:37:33.931-05:002011-03-02T09:37:33.931-05:00I ALWAYS get up with enough time on race morning t...I ALWAYS get up with enough time on race morning to *ahem* get things moving in the bathroom department.

It gives the ole bowels more time to do it's work.
