Marathon Recovery

I just remembered this morning that it's been awhile since the marathon and I wanted to get an idea as to how long it took me to recover from the marathon so that i can make plans and predict my recovery for the Avenue of Giants.

So let's see here October 7 was the marathon and this past weekend I would say I felt completely recovered. No more soreness of fatigue feeling in my legs. I did a longer run at Mom's on the hills there and it was just fine. So it was 2 weeks out from the marathon that I felt like I could "train" again.

I think I would wait through this week for strength training for legs just to be sure and I would probably want to take my long rides back a bit too so that my legs could fully recover without getting fatigued again. I would also make sure that my rides were flat just base endurance Zone 2 rides.

So I'll get it mapped out on my training plan with my hours and see how it fits putting a marathon in my plan in early spring.
