Have you ever had ‘post race blues’

Using the reflection time as a place where you can find ways to improve for next season

Come up with a plan for the next 6-18 months blueprint

Sign up for or research your next race

What if you don’t feel like running after the first 1-2 weeks off?

This is a normal feeling 

Sometimes you need to take more time off but sometimes you do just need to ACT before you get the ‘feeling back’

Seasonal changes can make you feel weird during an already weird time

Don’t focus too much on how you ‘feel’ during this time of year

Consistency is the key to success

Don’t do too much too soon

A reverse taper is not a literal thing

You want to take time off then rebuild mileage back to 50-70% of peak marathon mileage

Workouts should be 1 month after race and very short like 6x 1 min ‘effort based’ pick ups

Don’t focus too much on comparing

Don’t look at your marathon training cycle through rose colored glasses

You can’t peak forever
