"Richard, training for a marathon will have a massive positive effect on all your other race times from what I've heard from other people, I'm really looking forward to running my next half in March of the back of marathon training."
I ran a 10K 2 days ago and I can tell you that it was a lot harder than in previous years (it was my 4th or 5th time running this same route).
Maybe the lack of speedwork? The fact that for the first two weeks after the Marathon I was just getting back to "decent" mileage? Or that I didn't do more than 1 session of speedwork in these 4 weeks?
Truth is, I felt very heavy... heavy legs...
In the end I spoke to a man who also ran under 3h for the same marathon and he told me the same... He felt very heavy.
Has this happened to you all marathon/ultra runners?
How long did you wait until your first race after the Marathon?
And what was the result?
