Honolulu Marathon Race Week Taper Workout! Coach Sage Canaday Running VLOG - Vo2maxProductions
Intro
This is a quick summary of “Honolulu Marathon Race Week Taper Workout!” from Vo2maxProductions. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points
- The workout is a taper‑maintenance session – no new fitness work, just keeping the legs sharp and the metabolism revved before race day.
- Run at marathon race‑pace effort for short, controlled intervals to maintain muscle tension and leg turnover.
- Altitude (7,500 ft) and a slight downhill/tail‑wind help offset the high elevation, so pace feels a little easier.
- Keep an eye on heart‑rate and stride data; log it to Strava for later analysis.
Workout Example
- Warm‑up (easy jog, 5‑10 min).
- 2‑mile tempo run at marathon race‑pace (approximately 5:20‑5:10 per mile).
- Recovery: 3.2 km (≈2 mi) easy jog, then 5‑minute rest.
- 1‑mile tempo (same effort, aim for 5:10 per mile or slightly faster).
- Cool‑down jog and stretch.
Closing Note
Give this taper‑tune‑up a try today, and feel free to adjust the paces to match your own marathon goal in the Pacing app. Good luck, and see you at the start line in Honolulu! 🚀
