10 or 7 day taper for 11.1 runner?

Hi Bold,
How’s it going?
In 2002 Forum Review, under ‘Peaking for Competition’, it states that ‘a 10 day taper probably serves a male sprinter best at a level of 10.20 or faster, otherwise 5-7 days might suffice.’
Then it goes on:
‘10 day taper always applies to competitions before important meets. If your athlete should unfortunately be injured with 10 days left, he might well recover. With less than 10 days he won’t.’
