The Science

This 7-day pre-race plan exists for one simple reason:
to get you to the start line slightly bored, mildly twitchy, and annoyingly fresh –> That’s the “sweet spot”.

It’s built on two ideas that sports science actually agrees on (a rare event):
tapering and nutrition periodization.
No crystals.
No miracle powders.
Just physiology doing its thing if you don’t mess with it.

Tapering is the controlled art of not ruining months of work in the final week.
