→Variability of Tapering Results
This section looks at how much variability there is in tapering results. These diagrams show the 95% [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_interval confidence level]. This means that one in twenty runners will be at one end of the 95% confidence level or the other.
==Training Intensity==

You can see quite a lot of variability in the running results, but tapers without reducing intensity do not have a negative impact on performance; at worse they are no different to not tapering.
