Peaking involves optimizing an athlete's physical and mental state for a key competition.
A typical peaking plan includes:

• A well-structured taper (reduced volume, maintained intensity).
• Increased focus on recovery, sleep, and nutrition.
• Mental rehearsal and race strategy review.
• Reduced external stressors.

The exact duration and structure vary by event and athlete.
