You’ve crossed the finish line, collected your medal, and maybe even smashed a PB — but now what?
In this episode, we answer your questions about what happens after the big race. Rose has just London marathon, Steph's fresh off 100k for England, and we’re both dragging ourselves out of that weird post-race headspace.
We discuss how we recover: from the post-race blues to the art of actually doing nothing, how to know when to start running again, and why your brain can feel as tired as your legs. Whether you’ve already booked your next goal or wondering if you’ll ever feel “normal” again, this one’s for you.
We cover:
- Why post-race blues are totally normal (and how we’re feeling)
- How to recover properly
- When to start running again (and when not to)
- The mental side of recovery
- How to build back into training
- Setting your next goal… or just enjoying the time off
