Marathon Preparation: Tapering Phase and Mental Strategies | Complete Physio UK
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
This video looks at how to manage the final stage of marathon training and the mental preparation that goes alongside it. Our team at Complete Physio in Central London explain how to keep the right balance of training frequency and intensity, how interval work can be adjusted, and what to do with long runs during the taper. We also cover practical mental strategies that support performance on race day. These include using visualisation, practising positive self-talk, building mantras, and switching between internal and external points of attention. Simple approaches like these can make a significant difference to confidence and endurance.
