GET BACK OUT THERE
RUNNING AS RECOVERY
After running a marathon, it’s a really good idea to think about the future. When will you run again and how will recovery play a part in your training?
You might feel like you don’t want to run at all for a week or so after the race. Or you might be itching to get back out there straightaway. Try not to be tempted to throw yourself back into intense training. Most elite runners do a couple of very light jogs or just some easy walks in the first seven days. After taking a week off, your training should continue to be very light for two weeks post-race.
