Marathon Recovery

After months and months of dedication, training 3 to 5 times a week, eating healthily, early nights and many many running shoes later, the day has arrived…  Enjoy it!

Marathon recovery is an aspect that runners often neglect… At the end, you probably will feel like collapsing (and celebrating) but keep thinking about hydration, eating carbs and proteins and refill in essential vitamins and nutrients, as your muscle and immune system with take up to 4 weeks to recover.

Most commonly runners feel the need to get back running asap not to lose the level of fitness you have worked so hard to achieve. But remember you have trained to peak for a race so your energy will initially lower and your stamina will take a few weeks to recover. It takes 4 weeks for your muscle to recover from this intense race, so respect your body and don’t compromise your recovery. If you have not recovered properly and keep running the same amount as during training, you are at high risk to pick up an injury…

Some runners however are finding difficult to even motivate themselves with a small Sunday morning jog…

Best is to take it easy and stay motivated. One way to keep your fitness going is enjoying some different sports, especially of the weather keeps going like today, like swimming, tennis, golf, cycling… Or set yourself  a new goal and enrol yourself for a new race in 8 to 12 weeks…
