Have you ever been lucky enough to get into two major marathons in one season, like Sydney and Chicago or Berlin and New York? It's a great problem to have, but it presents a unique challenge: how do you train for and race both?On this episode, I'm joined by running coach Chris Knighton, who shares his expert advice on tackling this marathon double. We discuss the A-Race and B-Race strategy, the importance of prioritizing recovery, and the mental and physical considerations of running two marathons within just a few weeks of each other. Coach Knighton also gives his perspective on why dropping out of a race can sometimes be the smartest move and the best ways to deal with jet lag and recovery.Whether you're doubling up on races or just looking to improve your recovery game, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won't want to miss.Guest Info: ⁠https://www.instagram.com⁠/knightonruns If you enjoyed this type of information, please consider subscribing to our channel for more race recaps,  running news, running shoe reviews, and more! We are now on YOUTUBE: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Lettyruns⁠·  Our website: ⁠www.marathonmedia.us⁠ ·  Our Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/runningpodcast/⁠ ·  Our Amazon Storefront: ⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/runningpodcast⁠·  Join our Facebook group: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/speedstriders/⁠ ·  Youtube ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RunningPodcast⁠ Discount Codes for Runners: ⁠https://www.runswag.com⁠
