PLUS: Hal Higdon's 2nd-Time Marathon--5 weeks: This is one of several programs designed for runners planning to do two or more marathons with minimum rest between. This is my 2nd-Time Program for runners with five weeks between their marathons. I also have interactive programs already online for runners doing marathons with 2-8 weeks rest. Make sure you pick the correct program. Each day I will send you emails telling you what to run and offering tips on your training. For more information, visit my website: halhigdon.com.
After purchase, your plan will be available in your own private online training log account. You'll enjoy these benefits and more:

PREMIUM: This 2nd-Time Training Program is designed specifically for runners who run one marathon--then want to run another in only five weeks. Yes, there are good reasons why someone might want to do that. I also plan to create 2nd-Time programs for those who have 2-8 weeks between marathons. Be sure when you sign up for one of these programs that you pick the correct one and set the right end date. So let us begin--by doing nothing!

In the instructions for this and other programs, I usually suggest a distance and how long it might take the average runner to cover that distance. But there are few average runners; we are all different. So just because I suggest that you run 2 miles in 20 minutes today and 3 miles in 30 minutes tomorrow, you do not need to run precisely that pace. You pick the pace at which you run.
Workout #4 : Run
Planned Time: 0:20:00
Love is lovelier, the second time around. Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground. Frank Sinatra sang those words a long time ago, but they prove true today when it comes to running multiple marathons. Marathons can be lovelier the second time around too.
Workout #5 : Run
Planned Time: 0:30:00
With only five weeks between marathons, you really don't have time to do much training. Maybe a couple of weeks of serious training in the middle. Nevertheless, run 3 miles today at an easy pace. You define what easy is. In terms of nutrition, maintain the same high-carbohydrate diet between marathons 1 and 2 that you did before the first. It's also a good idea to schedule a massage 48 to 72 hours after the first marathon.
Workout #6 : Strength
Planned Time: 0:00:00
All of us need to reevaluate our strength training routines from time to time, and I'm probably as guilty of this as anybody. Are the lifts you do appropriate for your current fitness goals, either for fast times or peak fitness? Are there some lifts that you should add to your routine--or remove from your routine? Sometimes it is a good idea to change just for the sake of change.

If you use plastic bottles to carry fluids while you run, consider that over a period of time they may develop mold or suffer other problems. For instance, all plastics washed in a dishwasher eventually will leach toxins from the plastic. Do not put plastic containers such as Tupperware into the dishwasher.
Workout #8 : Run
Planned Time: 0:40:00
You ran 2 miles on Tuesday and 3 miles on Wednesday. Today, go 4 miles at a gentle pace. You may want to do as much walking as running in the workouts between marathons. Don't worry about pace. You are still in recovery mode.
Workout #9 : Run
Planned Time: 0:00:00
PMS is a common problem for runners, particularly after finishing their first marathon. PMS stands for Post Marathon Syndrome. Having accomplished their great goal, runners wonder, what is next? And if their race, after all the training they did, fails to turn out as well as they had anticipated for various reasons, it is easy to understand why they might feel depressed, or even cheated.
