I'm always amazed that you can get out and run so many miles only two days after a marathon.

Can't wait to see how you do at Chicago.

Does it feel like you held back enough on Saturday? I'm trying to think how I'd feel if I ran a full marathon at a slightly reduced pace, but I have no idea. Plus it's not an apples to apples comparison bc of your high "normal" mileage. Pretty confident you'll bounce right back?

I feel like I did it at the right effort - a hard long run, but not a race. Legs feel about the same as they did after the 16M simulator the weekend before. A little tired the day after - back to normal two days later. Definitely not the usual post-marathon feeling... I had some sore spots after the TOU 1/2 in August, but this just feels like business as usual (as it should).

I think doing a lot of long runs in the 22-26 range this summer has built a lot of strength and resilience... if anything, running the marathon was LESS time on my feet than I've gotten used to :-)

Ok, something to think about. Thanks for the explanation. After my slew of winter races, I've been thinking about a block of high mileage, lower-intensity running before returning to speed in the summer...

Great post by Andrea!

allie- how did you figure out my social security #?

joe- obviously i'm a fan of the high mileage blocks. you just need to remember to update your ipod every 3-4 weeks.
