best watch for running marathon image
KAR36
I ran a marathon two weeks ago and want to start training for one this fall.
I caught a cold a week after running the marathon and am running for the first time today.
The marathon I would run is in October and it is late June now.
Answer
It would help to know if this was your first, and how long you've been running, etc.
Your immune system was probably suppressed following the marathon -- that's why you caught cold. So take it easy and watch your diet, etc.
It's normally advised to take one recovery day per mile raced -- so if you ran a marathon, that means for roughly the next month, you should treat your runs as recovery runs, not serious training. Your body is going to be rebuilding, and some light running that gets the circulation going can help, but you'll also be more injury prone and need to watch it.
But other than that, every one is different. Some people do great getting out immediately after a marathon, and others really truly need that month to rebuild. There's nothing wrong if you want to get out training 2 weeks after your event, but do keep an eye on things the next couple weeks before you start stepping it up again to "normal."

well it all years and i mean years of training......some runs up to 2 hours or more just for a simiple long run to build endurance. and they have workouts like tempo to hold there amazing paces. also they work their core muscle meaning abs like crzy! a strong core helps alot! also diets. they eat like they run that all i can say lol their to much diet to explain. O they also carry energy gel to help them keep going
