Workout #1 : Day Off

Custom
Planned Time: 0:00:00
PREMIUM: This 2nd-Time Training Program is designed specifically for runners who run one marathon--then want to run another in only seven weeks. Yes, there are good reasons why someone might want to do that. I also offer 2nd-time training programs for 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!

Workout #2 : Other

More information on doing multiple marathons is available on my website. Look for Multiple Marathons in the column featuring training programs.

Workout #3 : Other

Planned Time: 0:00:00
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 seven weeks between marathons, it limits the amount of time you can devote to serious training: maybe three or four weeks in the middle. But that should be enough. 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 : Run

Planned Time: 0:00:00
Head to the hills if you want to become a better runner. The biggest reason for doing some form of hill training--whether short repeats or long runs--is to develop quad strength. Necessary for speed at short distances or for an ability to lift your legs in the last half dozen miles of a marathon. In truth, hills are like interval training in disguise. Most important: Hill training offers a variation.

Workout #7 : 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, at least these first few weeks while you are in recovery mode. Don't worry about pace until you feel you are fully recovered.

Workout #8 : Other

Planned Time: 0:00:00
Soreness can occur anywhere. If you train hard, you can expect to get sore. And not always in the same area of the body. Soreness usually comes because you stress some body part, causing microscopic muscle tears that causes you to hurt and maybe avoid exercising that body part any more, allowing the hurt muscles to repair and grow stronger.

Workout #9 : Other

Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sometimes when you injure one body part, you favor that part by changing your stride or making modifications to the way you run. And that causes another body part to start aching. Sometimes we injure ourselves and must either rest or seek treatment.
