October 9th, the date you circled a long time ago, and have trained for and thought about ever since, is now here. Safe travels and smooth runs to Rashi in Twin Cities, Bill in Portland, Jean and Tatiana in Chicago, and Leah in Victoria. We're all eager to hear how your races went.
WEEK 22 LESSON: YOUR NEXT
Question: How soon can I run my next marathon after finishing this one
Answer: How does six months
later sound? You could run another one much sooner (as soon as a month later,
according to the usual recovery timetable). But two marathons per year is a
reasonable limit, which is why I schedule only two annual rounds of training for
our team. This leaves half the year free to do something other than train for
and recover from marathons. Spring and fall are the best times to run this
distance because our weather is most reliably cool and dry then. Though we
target races in those seasons, it also means doing most of the training in wet
Oregon winters and warm summers. If you want to run races in those seasons,
keep them shorter.
