This was extremely insightful. Besides the practical implications and advice, I particularly liked things like comparing tapering with simply resting and the pitfalls for the last couple of weeks. Your expression of "the hay is in the barn" goes hand in glove with Inigo's advice NOT to change WHAT you do when the tapering period sets in (taper tantrums). "Trust the process" was perhaps my biggest take-away. Thanks a lot for allowing us to listen in to this talk between the two of you.

Very helpful. I took lots of notes. Everything made so much good sense. Many thanks to both of you for a true conversation, with each of you making really good points.

Great episode and I learned lots about tapering. The non linear taper makes sense but it's even better to know that current research supports it.
