Why I’m Not Being Rigid During Marathon Taper: Universal HHN! | Life in My 30s Vlog

Welcome back! In today’s vlog, we are tackling the final marathon taper week and why I'm trying to not be so rigid during taper week. I'm out here trying to balance rest and pre-race jitters with a night out at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights! We’re heading into HHN to check out the Sinners house, avoid a taper madness crash out , and talk about giving yourself grace when training for a marathon in your 30s. As a work-from-home therapist I'm really just trying to practice what I preach. If you're currently in a taper week, prepping for an upcoming race, or just love Halloween Horror Nights vlogs, hit subscribe and like to follow along! I'm also running the Long Beach Marathon in October and fundraising for CHIRLA, an organization supporting immigrant communities in California.
