This 2nd-Time Training Pogram is designed specifically for runners who run one marathon--then want to run another in only two weeks. Yes, there are good reasons why someone might want to do that. I also offer 2nd-Time training programs for those who have 3-8 weeks between marathons. Be sure when you sign up for one of my interactive 2nd-Time programs that you pick the correct one and set the right end date. So let us begin--by doing nothing!

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. But you're still in recovery mode. Take another day off. I'll let you do some running tomorrow.

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.

With only two weeks between marathons, you really don't have time to train. Focus instead on recovery. Maintain the same high-carbohydrate diet between marathons 1 and 2 that you did before the first. It's a good idea to schedule a massage 48 to 72 hours after the first marathon.

There are three ways to improve as a runner: 1) run more miles; 2) run what miles you run faster; or 3) continue to run the same number of miles at the same pace, assuming consistency will allow you some improvement. It will, but the other two routes maybe offer a more effective way to achieve your performance goals.

You may want to do as much walking as running in the workouts between marathons. Just because I suggest today that you run 3 miles in a half hour, that does not mean you can't substitute walking at least for some of the running. Regardless of what you do during these two weeks, you are not going to improve your fitness.

For runners seeking to improve their times, I often recommend doing at least one workout a week at race pace. But you don't have to get it right in Week 1. Doing pace runs is a learning experience. Some runners who are more fit and who like to run each mile at perfect pace warm up briefly before starting. Or you can include the warm-up in the run itself: doing the first mile of a 5-mile pace run at a slower pace, then 3 miles at pace, then 1 mile at the end to cool down. Not every mile in a pace run will be exactly on pace either. Weather can confound your efforts, as can difficulty of course.

Running multiple marathons in a year is not as silly as it seems. Some runners feel that they should run only one marathon a year. Follow that rule, however, and you are going to miss a lot of great running experiences. There are numerous great fall marathons, great marathons in the spring too. Sometimes, you need to bite the bullet and go against all common sense.
