How Should I Train Between Marathons? Coaching Call w/ Pam Rountree

Pam recently completed two marathons with seven weeks of training in between, but no significant improvement in her time. She would like to reach her goal in her next race, but feels the 24-week program she used last time is too long. She wants to to know how she can maintain fitness and then ramp up for race. Coach Jeff provides context for post-race recovery and maintenance training prior to jumping into a marathon build-up and how long that build up should, and maybe shouldn’t, be. He also explains how to leverage the time between races to arrive at the start of a marathon training cycle even stronger without much additional effort. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation and find some takeaways that help you in your training.
