Today we start our Taper week. A proper taper will ensure that we're able to hit Murph hard and at our best! This will enable our bodies to recover while also staying active just enough to maintain our progress these past weeks.
Test out your Murph strategy during today's circuit. Use the weight vest/body armor you'll be using during the event if possible.
*If you don't have body armor or a weighted vest, use a backpack/hiking pack with weight.*
