In this episode we talk about two very important topics: 1. MARATHON BLUES and 2. POST MARATHON RECOVERY.

The marathon blues, also known as post race depression, is a sentiment that a lot of runners experience after the race. We will give you a proper definition, and will talk to you about the symptoms, causes, and how to handle these feelings. 

When it comes to post marathon recovery, we see much advice on the internet about how much time to take off after your marathon, but very little information as to why those numbers are prescribed. So we look at some studies that will give us an idea how to translate the results of the studies into what is best for us runners as an individual. We will also talk about what things to do and what things not to do to speed up our recovery.
