This was recovery week after the marathon. If you missed my recap of my first marathon, you can read it HERE. Boy was I stiff on Monday! My legs were definitely feeling it at the joints and I was walking funny. I’m glad it only lasted a day. I probably should have followed some sort of recovery plan but here’s what I did last week:
Monday – Just walked/waddled and took it easy.
I did get a #JumpJoyMonday in for the #SweatPink BOSU challenge lol. 
Tuesday – I did a few minutes of cycling.
Then did some tricep dips for #TricepTuesday. 
Wednesday – I did some planking for the #SweatPink BOSU challenge. I was side planking and my little guy had something else in mind. He’s like do this and I was like, ok lol.
In the evening I did some easy cycling. 
Thursday – I decided to do some yoga and did P90X3’s Yoga.
Friday – First run after the marathon, 3 treadmill miles. 
Saturday – Rest Day
Sunday – Rest Day
It’s been an easy recovery week. I don’t have any races scheduled for the rest of the year but am thinking of signing up for a holiday run or something. It’s a bit weird not having a schedule to follow, which I was so accustomed to with marathon training. But I just found a marathon recovery plan from Hal Higdon that I might use as a guide:
Post Marathon Training: Intermediate
| WEEK | MON | TUE | WED | THU | FRI | SAT | SUN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cross 30 min | 3 m run | 3 x mile (mar pace) | 3 m run | Rest | 30 min tempo | 45-75 min run |
| 2 | Cross 30-40 min | 4 m run | 3 x mile (10-K pace) | 4 m run | Rest | 35 min tempo | 60-90 min run |
| 3 | Cross 30-50 min | 5 m run | 3 x mile (5-K pace) | 5 m run | Rest | 40 min tempo | 90 min run |
| 4 | Cross 30-60 min | 5 m run | 30 min tempo | 3 m run | Rest | Rest | Race |
How’d your week go? Here’s to a great week ahead!
