Podcast Episode #111: Elliott Farris on Peaking, Tapering, & How to Run Fastest When it Matters
In this episode, my friend Elliott Farris joins me to discuss the often confusing and mysterious idea of "peaking" or "tapering." We cover the most often used definitions, how it relates to end of season success, and why he doesn't believe the traditional concept of "peaking" makes physiological sense. We then go over training and programming strategies to ensure the best chances of success when you need to race the fastest.
Elliott Farris is a former collegiate athlete and coach for Texas A&M. As a runner he earned All-Region honors in XC and made the NCAA first round for the Aggies, and has since run a 2:26 marathon. Elliott earned a BS in Animal Science and a Master of Agribusiness before realizing he could not leave his passion for endurance sports, and he now coaches privately while managing the best running store in Texas.
