Cheeky’s Dad 8 Oct 11:32pm, 8 Oct 2024 5,992 posts	0 Cheeky’s Dad Evening all. Mileage is still way down on where I’d like it to be but at least I went for a run this evening. On the subject of post-marathon rest, I don’t think you should worry about hard and fast rules. If you don’t feel like running, don’t. When you feel like a gentle run, give it a go but take it easy. There are plenty of other low/non-impact things to do if you want to get yourself moving. Otherwise enjoy the rest, you’ve earned it.

ptr_runner 9 Oct 6:49am, 9 Oct 2024 3,259 posts	0 ptr_runner Maintaining a run streak in the first couple of days after a marathon is tricky. But saying that, after Regensburg Marathon in May, I ran a new 5k pb only 4 days later. I'd say for me, it takes at least 3 days before the legs feel normal, i.e I don't start each run with a wonky hoble, but I can normally still feel the fatigue for a few days more than that.

Pothunter 9 Oct 2:53pm, 9 Oct 2024 9,511 posts	0 Pothunter I PB’d at parkrun the week after my first marathon (with no running in the days between). But I wasn’t that sore, and had no issues with feet or toenails.
Badger 9 Oct 7:27pm, 9 Oct 2024 17,431 posts	0 Badger I've never tried to run anything even vaguely race-like quite that soon after a marathon. But I have run disappointing marathons followed by very exciting shorter races (such as taking a full minute off my 10k time 3 weeks after running my second slowest road marathon ever), - the "marathon bounce" can really pay off in the month or so after the event.
