It was worth it, though, to run that half with one of my best friends (it was her first). I took a zero week after my second full and then reversed my taper. I usually don't take a zero week after a half, but I'm going to this time since my IT band was bothering me during the last couple of miles of Vancouver and because I am just wiped out.

But at the same time, 20 hours a week for the last 9 months was devoted to training and suddenly there is a tremendous void in your lifestyle. You pick the next big race and sign up for it. or pick another goal. but just sitting there like you have to do after an ironman will drive you up the wall. tread lightly.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-77224574389027576442013-05-03T09:18:41.516-07:002013-05-03T09:18:41.516-07:00I think 3 weeks is the closest I have had 2 half m...I think 3 weeks is the closest I have had 2 half marathons, but nothing longer than that.

MARINE CORPS MARATHON??? I hope you'll love it. It's a busy race and urban in nature, but I absolutely loved running it! One of my favorite moments was at the finish line when some young marine was taking off the timing chip from my shoe. I giggled and said, "I bet you never imagined in a million years when you joined the marines that you'd be doing this as part of your service." He laughed, which helped make my day!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-64243900790592401562013-05-03T05:44:39.344-07:002013-05-03T05:44:39.344-07:00I really don't take too much time to recover a...I really don't take too much time to recover after a race but then again I'm not doing marathons either. I've said it before but after Boston I think I took about a year off of running (totally different runner then and some other factors like being pregnant!)

There is such a build up and then it's over so fast (well relatively fast if you consider 4'ish hours fast). I did take recovery time after my marathon but resumed running after a week off I think. But I kept my mileage super low as I didn't have another race coming up anytime soon as it had turned cold/snowy in MN so that made running less appealing.<br /><br />That is exciting that you are doing MCM!! Depending on what is happening in my life at that point and what my budget is looking like, maybe I will come spectate!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-19966268517205509792013-05-03T05:01:41.491-07:002013-05-03T05:01:41.491-07:00That's got to be tough: marathon followed by 5...That's got to be tough: marathon followed by 50k!
