Subject: Tapering volume
I've been using MAOnline to train for IMAZ, and this week has been the first week of tapering. What I had in mind for the taper is a bit different than how I'm actually being coached, and want to see how it's shaping up for others.

Most weeks for me have been 17-22hrs. This week is 16h45, still with a relatively long ride (4h30) and a long swim (5500). Next week there are more shorter workouts, but overall time/distance is about the same. I haven't looked at week after next yet.
Next week:
Swims: 2000, 2500, 3500, 4000
Bikes: Speed, 2h30, 3h30
Runs: Speed, Speed, 40 mins, 75 mins <---this volume has dropped of significantly.

As an Iron newbie I've got no experience here, just wanted to throw it out there.

My weeks have been 15-20hours and my first week of tapering is next week. I believe its about 15 hours as well which surprised me. Especially since I just dropped my bike to be shipped with tri bike transport and have no idea what I will do for the biking for the next 10 days, I want to see what others have to say about this.
