WEEKS 13-16
Performance and Taper
What you’ll be doing
You're in the home stretch. Phase 4 is all about maintaining functional strength while allowing your body to recover, adapt, and peak for race day. The focus shifts to quality over intensity, dialing back volume, avoiding excessive fatigue, and sharpening movement patterns that support strong, efficient running. This is where strength training complements your taper, helping you feel light, powerful, and race-ready.
Let the work show. Race day is coming.
