How Do You Balance Intensity and Recovery in Your Training Plan?

Balancing hard work and recovery in your marathon training is really important. Here’s how I do it:

  • Weekly Mileage: I slowly increase the distance I run each week, trying to reach about 30-40 miles during my busiest weeks.

  • Intensity: I add one or two fast workouts each week, like tempo runs or intervals.

  • Recovery: After tough days, I always plan easy runs or rest days to help my body recover.

Always remember to pay attention to how your body feels. If you’re really tired, it’s okay to take an extra rest day!
