THE TAPER TRAP: WHY THE TWO WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MARATHON WILL DESTROY YOU MENTALLY

by Jake Rivera May 16

I'm two weeks out from Chicago, and I'm losing my mind. Not because I'm undertrained or doubting my fitness, but because I'm doing less work than I have in months.

by Jake Rivera May 16

I never thought a flip turn would change my perspective on athletic progression. For years, I treated them as just a practical necessity, a way to keep momentum going without losing my rhythm at the wall.
