It is obviously hard to replicate the [[Practical Tapering|taper]] in training without having a huge impact on the training schedule. However, it should be possible to perform a very short 'micro taper' that will help understand how the taper affects your running. A weeklong taper, which training volume is cut back while intensity is maintained should not affect your training should feel unduly. Understanding how different tapers work for you is important. The [[The Science of Tapering 101|science of tapering]] has shown large individual variability, so trying different taper patterns and different taper nutrition will help you decide what works for you.
