Marathon Recovery Mistakes: The Critical Weeks After Your Goal Race

If you’ve just raced a marathon or half marathon, you know that you need to recover.  But how long will that take?

It’s more than your body that’s been through the experience of training and racing.  Your mind, your relationships, and perhaps even your identity itself have been affected as well and need recovery.  No app or GPS watch is going to be able to quantify those things in hard data.

Welcome to the Planted Runner.  I’m Coach Claire Bartholic and my mission is to help you improve your running, your mindset, and your life with science-backed training and plant-based nutrition.

Today  I’m going to get into the three critical weeks of recovery after your big goal race.  I’ll go over: 

The do’s and don’ts in the critical three weeks after race day

How to properly structure your return to running, and

How a great recovery can improve your next cycle and the rest of your life.

Don’t wait until after the race to listen to this one!

And be sure to listen all the way to the end for another Mental Strength Minute.  Fortify your mind in 60 seconds or less.
