re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I have multiple thoughts I suppose:

1. I’m only about 6 weeks out post Marathon, I feel like it definitely took me a couple of weeks just for my system to recover and don’t feel like I’m where I was physically pre marathon

2. This is only third week of training with him, and the first week where I feel he has really challenged me. I think he’s just been kind of seeing what I can handle with speed and mileage up to this point. This week has been serious!

3. We have started some things that I wasn’t doing before, which I feel definitely needed to be done. Those include running 5 days a week instead of 4 and adding strength training for lower body. Those alone should help me improve.

4. I’m already doing ~33 miles a week now and we are still a month + from marathon build up. My max week of mileage during last buildup was 43 I think so I will be starting from a much better spot

5. I feel like I would add some intervals that are faster with more rest (like maybe 800s or even mile repeats at like 90-95%) but I don’t know that would honestly be any better or not
