I completed my 8th marathon, the NCR Marathon, on the NCR trail in northern Maryland which is considered a small, local race. While training for this I definitely had my doubts along the way. This was my first marathon after having my second baby in July 2023 and life has been a little crazy this year! In the end it all worked out and I met my goal, and I am so glad I ran this race. I'm hoping to share my experience for anyone else who is having their doubts about running a marathon or is considering running this race.

After months of training for a marathon, it is a great feeling to hit your peak mileage of training and complete your last very long run. But then what? It's time to taper! Some runners love the taper, others hate it. When figuring out how to taper correctly you need to figure out what works best for you. This will involve understanding the why and how behind the taper, as well as understanding yourself as a runner along with trying things out from one race to the next.
