Interested in views on marathon recovery - completed the Palma marathon on 17 October (3:31) and have registered for the Jedburgh half on 31 October - a two week gap. Did 3 days recovery runs 2, 3 and 3 miles on 3 consecutive days right after Palma
I ran my first marathon about a month ago but I'm still tired. Running ok but I just feel like I could sleep for Britain. Any tips on recovery? I'd just stop running (I'm running about 15miles a week at the moment) but I'm running 180 miles
Higdon marathon recovery schedule and just reading the advice on there. It lasts 5 weeks and so far I am into the 4th, and everything has gone pretty well. From experience, I wouldn't go flat out straight after a marathon, I did it before and ended up
I've just completed my first full marathon at the weekend, and had decided to give myself at least a week off to recover.Trouble is it's only Wednesday and I'm already climbing the walls waiting to get out there again!How much recovery should I take
with breathing in fact its improved but my legs are suffering! I guess we are all different with our recoveries? That is weird. lol I get accused of that a lot Different people recover in different ways. The first 2 marathons I ran I found the recovery quick

for it but not convinced I'm going to do it).Just wondering how long do I need to recover from the marathon and what exactly should 'recovery' consist of as far as Tri training goes. I don't particularly want to sit on my @rse for two weeks. cheers guys have a few days off
!BTW - Well done! From my experience I reckon it takes 3 weeks to recover from a marathon - your not just recovering from the race but also from the training! For the first week after I do nothing at all other than walk and eat! Second week 3 x recovery
