Tapering before a marathon is really important! Let’s break down why:

• Get Some Rest: It allows your body to recover after all those long runs you've done.
• Feel Energized: You will feel more fresh and full of energy on the day of the race.
• Better Focus: Tapering helps you think clearly, so you'll be ready to take on the course.

Think of tapering as a little bit of "me time" for your body before the big race!
