raceweek Often errors are made a significant impact on the outcome of the race.

For an event like the Ironman, training takes place over many months and perhaps a whole year. Endurance is that over a long period.

There is nothing you can do in the week before Ironman, that's about your stamina. (Except for holidays)

But it is again and again. IRONMAN Everyone I've ever been to you see people pounding on their bikes 70 miles a trip 3 days before the race. Or they make a run 12 miles in blazing heat! Go figure.

Or there are some who go and swim the whole about 3 times that the last week.

All it does burn valuable energy that can not be replaced before the race. It would make more sense simply on the couch, the last 7 days. They would continue in the future.

If you are not physically ready for the race, if you roll into town, there is nothing, save that in the past week.

There are many ways to taper before the big race. How about Kim Bushong famous "" TV-Taper. "" He claimed he sat for about three weeks before the Ironman'82 'TV and saw and ate chocolate bars. He led for the entire bike leg and was not caught until 10 miles into the run.

Although this is not recommended for everyone, it worked for him.

I would suggest that with 3 weeks to go, you are no longer the distance or intensity of training. Decrease in the actual time you spend on training, but the intensity of your normal level.

I would not recommend doing any weight training within 10 days after the big race.

If your race is on Sunday the last tough work-out of all kinds would be on Tuesday. Remember that there are no long lines at this point. Wednesday and Thursday are days of rest after your last work-out on Tuesday. No high intensity or the removal of any kind Perhaps a simple early morning swim before breakfast or perhaps a simple 30-minute run.

Friday is your complete rest day (Saturday, not so many people tend to believe). No cycling, running or swimming.

Saturday, the day before the race, for 15-20 minutes on each event. Not anymore. This will loosen muscles, more traffic and shed excess water within a few days of inactivity. This is "important". "

Take the time to get on your bike one last time before it in transition for the race. Make sure the brakes are fine, gear shift and computer is working properly.

Do not make the mistake to be wrapped up in what others are doing, is that in the past week. Do not feel you have to go out and swim the entire distance on the Friday before the race on Sunday, because someone else is.

Go with your pre-race and stick with him regardless of what others are doing. Remember that there are a lot of excess energy for all buildings and some people can not handle it. Relax and stay with the firm conviction that you worked hard for this day and easily earn this last week.

Follow this simple plan and you will be rested and ready for the start gun on Sunday.
