But gradually after running 20-40 miles a week for a couple of years, AND after running a bunch of long runs (including slower marathons) I got more endurance.<br /><br />I feel like improvements in endurance come slowly (compared to speed) but it also takes a long time to fade away. And it's a lot easier for an older person to improve upon.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752798450146454511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-70876455294715346622012-07-24T00:52:54.862-07:002012-07-24T00:52:54.862-07:00I took me a long time to recovery from my first an...I took me a long time to recovery from my first and only marathon last December. I tried to run after a week and my legs were fatigued. They didn't hurt, just tired. It took me about 3.5 weeks to fully recovery. I really did not have a good base before doing the marathon. I have been base building so I hope my next marathon (december) will go better. <br /><br />You are so well conditioned with all your training mileage. Your ability to recover is amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-70069422834035105222012-07-23T04:20:57.539-07:002012-07-23T04:20:57.539-07:00Good recovery week!
