How long should I wait before I run a 24k training run again. Would appreaciate your help. Im way too late on this. But, I would have said go for it. The article makes a lot of good points and I agree with them. At the very same time I am getting ready to run my 5th marathon in six weeks.
Only real problem is I just get over a cold before the next run and promptly get another cold because my immune system is always getting slammed. Give yourself enough time not to get ill and go for it! Cross training like swimming is also pretty easy on the body. Its a hard activity but you should be able to do a bit of it! I hope your 56K was a success!
I am about to do a k in January. My first too but you get 16 hours so my strategy is to run km an hour the first two hours than take a run 6. You need to average a 6. I have been looking for an article for awhile about running multiple marathons in the span of each week. I know its possible now because I have officially run 4 marathons in 5 weeks.
With two more in the next two weeks 6 in 7 weeks. I have also found that instead of getting slower I am getting faster. Well, at least with the last one.
Kobe — ?? Fuji marathon Another hilly run So, I was curious about the effects, training advice, etc for running back 2 back 2 back 2 back 2 back 2 back.
Another thing I have noticed is that now my legs feel like I havent ran at all the very next day which freaks me out. They hurt after Kanazawa — Ibigawa and stopped hurting after Kobe and after Fuji. I have interactive versions of my multiple marathon programs for each of those weeks-between. Click on one of the TrainingPeaks links at the top or bottom of this screen.
Focus instead on recovery. Maintain the same high-carbohydrate diet between marathons one and two that you hopefully did before the first. Schedule a massage 48 to 72 hours after the first marathon and if your budget permits a second massage before the second.
You may want to do as much walking as running in the workouts below. The 6-mile run suggested for Saturday very definitely should not be fast. Let your body dictate whether you want to spend that time running, walking, cross-training or just lying in front of a TV set. Regardless of what you do during these two weeks, you are not going to improve your fitness. So concentrate instead on easy activities that will promote your recovery. With four weeks between marathons, you have the opportunity to at least do some training.
It will be more for your mind than for your body. Physically, your body should still be in recovery mode, but I know from my own multiple marathon experiences that successful running is as much psychological as it is physical. The fourth week is your taper week.
The two weeks between provide time to do some training. As above, I have prescribed the Sunday workouts in hours rather than miles to allow you some flexibility. What kind of speedwork? The same kind you were doing leading into the marathon. With six weeks between marathons, this offers more time for recovery and tapering—but also more time for training. Thus the conundrum: On what element should you focus during this between-marathon period? You will need to read your own body signs.
That allows you two weeks of what might be described as serious training. That could include some speedwork as suggested to the Four-Weeks-Between group above. But be very cautious about pressing too hard on the accelerator pedal. I continue to recommend massages.
With eight weeks between marathons, you have time to do some serious training. As with the previous program above, consider that the first two weeks Weeks 8 and 7 are for recovery and the last two weeks Weeks 2 and 1 are for tapering.
In between, you have nearly a full month to fine-tune your training. If you feel fully recovered, run some of the 6-milers at an up-tempo.
Advanced runners can do some speed workouts, but be cautious about running to exhaustion. I would concentrate more on quality than quantity at this point. Can you combine the above schedules to run three, four, five or more marathons during a relatively short period of time?
But after a bout of multiple marathons, consider taking some time off from training, at least from hard training. Variety, in this case, is the spice of marathoning life.
