221. Do you NEED to take time off after your goal race?
Manage episode 379346571 series 2550681
It can be so tempting to want to power through and continue to run base mileage a few days or even the day after a marathon. There is such a big build up to the marathon that the drastic change from training 7+ hours per week to basically doing nothing can feel weird. We want to be productive. We want to feel like we are working toward something. However, the time after the marathon is a time to be working on our recovery. We cannot peak forever. On social media or even people in our social circles it might seem like we know people who never take time off. Just because someone else is doing it doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for you to be doing
How much time completely off do you need?
What is a reverse taper?
How much mileage should you be running 1-3 months out from your marathon?
What if you feel fine?
What if you feel like you are losing fitness?Why you
