After running over 100 marathons, I am aware of how my body responds and recovers, which is important to note because all our bodies are different. There … More How to recover from a marathon

And that’s a wrap. 10 marathons in 10 days complete. I embarked on the journey for 10 marathons in 10 days in order to raise money for Cancer Research.

7 days of running marathons. That is a whole week of running marathons every single day. Needless to say, my body is tired. Yesterday I ran the fastest of all the days so far, in 3:57.

I’m still standing… It is day 6, and I woke up feeling sore. I say woke up, but in truth, I didn’t really sleep last night. When I got out of bed, my garmin said my training readiness was poor, and my sleep was poor because I needed to rest and recover. That’s all well … More Day 6: 10 marathons in 10 days
