Does anyone have any training tips (other than sober up) for the time between two fairly close marathons? 4 weeks should be just about right for a full recovery for me, so I can't run all that far, or that hard, but I don't want my hard won fitness to fall off.
Suggestions?
Mike

I was going to say --- are you NUTS??? But then I realized that you are, Moose!
Just kidding. I have no suggestions. I did two marathons seven months apart and that was enough for me! I am sure you will get some suggestions though.

I meant to ask - which one are you thinking about doing?

My guess is Niagara. You are right, you don't need to do anything long, maybe a mid distance run of 15k, other then that do short with lots of recovery runs. I don't know how many times a week you run but if you do one intensity run (zone 3), one marathon paced run and one 15k, all the others should be @ 70% or less of MHR. Lots of fluid, sleep and protein, add in a massage and a taper week. If you are noticing any residual soreness take an extra day off or cross training day. Cellular recovery takes up to 6 weeks so stay away from sick people and get in lots of vitamin C.
Hope this helps.
Have you done Niagara before? If not be aware there is a false flat around 18 miles. If you have disregard. Have fun!!

Zone 1 is base, 70% or less, zone 2 is usually where you race a half marathon or longer, zone 3 is where you would race a 10k, do longer intervals, say 5 minutes at a time or 1k repeats, zone 4 is 5k speed, 400-800m repeats and zone 5 is really short stuff, 100m repeats. There are HR's associated with each but race speed usually is a good indicator.

Are you saying I should be able to race 10k at 1km repeat speed? Are you insane (I am Jane, and I'm okay with that)? Holy, am I ever a slacker! At that pace I should be able to drop almost 7.5 minutes off my 10k. Lets have the HR numbers 'cause I must not be doing my longer intervals right.
My legs hurt just typing that.
