I tried doing my mid-distance run today and failed after 4 miles. Normally, I would be able to do 5 miles easy but this is ridiculous. I've recently read that it takes about 2 weeks for an ELITE athlete to fully recover from a marathon. Obviously, I might be rushing things a little bit, considering that my "easy" runs aren't so easy anymore (which is a sign of over-training by the way). I think I'm just going to dial it back a little and take the marathon recovery training before beginning my next training schedule. If I do the full four weeks of the program, I will have to start the marathon training at week 11 to make sure I finish the program by race day on July 31st.
