The question is, how would you describe your post Marathon build up for your next race? The end of One, race is the beginning of another. So make sure you soon as you get across the Finish Line. You know, you getting your fluids first me, personally, I use you can't recover for that the hard work that I just did. But he also, you might need a thinking. How a went a full went really. Well, you like, okay. I think I could do another one like that. If it didn't go too. Well, he's like, okay. How can I do better? So, The build-up of after the race is important, you know, therapy ice bath and especially when I was competitor and then also to be able to do, you know, massage as important as like to stretch because you want to be able to just get back into the groove of things as soon as you can. But I always believed, you should take at least a week off after your next marathon. I don't believe Ryan the next day or and then after next week after week off, you can do every other day. For like another week and then on the third week you can get back into your roll girl routine of building up slowly you're not in this Fitness very much you just competing 26.2 miles so don't worry about that. Enjoy your time off and get rid of get excited for the next marathon, you want to miss it a little bit say hey I'm anxious to get ready for the next marathon. So by the time you do that, I think it's get ready. Time to get training again and don't rush it because you can always retrieve that Fitness back to where you were before this Marathon best wishes, good luck.

How would you describe your post Marathon? Build up to your next race? Well, first of all, it's all about recovering from the marathon. So, to me our athletes here at hook, n, AZ Elite, we usually take two weeks off and for some athletes that's completely off. No running at all. They don't they don't do a darn thing except walk their dog and hang out with the friends. Other other people like to at least, get out and go for super super slow 15-minute jogs here and there over the course of those two weeks, but other than that, it's off. And I think that's really important to important, mentally and physically. You need that time, like, anybody needs time away to, to recover, you know, the best athletes in the world in every sport, take time off. And so, why wouldn't you? That's kind of how I see it then. After those two weeks off, you start or we start with a couple easy weeks of running, so, to easy weeks of running, no workouts. But running every day, or as much as you're used to running. But very low volume. And then we start thinking about workouts. So it's basically a month after the race that we that we start workouts backup. And even then those are, those are light. And gradual, I would say if you're going from Marathon to Marathon, they should be at least at least four months apart, if possible, that's not always possible. But ideally, they would be at least four months because that would give you that month, easy, and then three months to train for the next one. If you're getting ready for a different distance, a shorter distance, You may not wait to have to wait four months. I don't think you would have to you could race before that, but I don't think you should be expecting to be at your absolute fittest until about three or four months after the race hope that helps
