Why am I only getting one week of taper before a marathon?

I’ve got a marathon on 4/13. I noticed that my plan has updated recently so that there’s only one taper week, which is race week. The week before that is now a build week. I am no expert, but I’m pretty sure the hay is in the barn at two weeks out. Should I really expect relevant improvements in one more training week, or is this a bug?

Hi @ohlylo … I checked your settings and your marathon is set as a B race. Might be too close now to switch to an A race however you could just change the Build week to a recovery week and you’ll achieve the same outcome.

Thanks Prof! I suppose I’m just surprised at the change, and my A race is in December so a long way away yet :slight_smile: I didn’t realize it was an option to set a recovery week so I’m just going to do that. Appreciate it!
