Mine is easing but I’m a day ahead!
But each part of my body is taking it in turns to hurt 
Hamstring was tight but 9 hours in the car yesterday probably didn’t help!
My HR was elevated but I don’t sleep as well and think my body was processing the caffeine!
How long until the 70.3 @jeffb ?
Week on Saturday, so time to recover but could do with having a swim or 2.
Will probably ride snow canyon the day before as well 
That is a tight turn around. I’ve got one in just under three weeks.
No swim for months and two bikes so thinking about canning it.
Maybe I could pace and support others at whatever pace (just randoms staying within my swim / bike capacity, assuming I can still swim it, make an event friend.)
Actually that would be really nice to support someone.
I’ve been doing some swimming and cycling and increased them in recent weeks when I was running less.
I might have previous for doing things like this 
but deffo not TC!
This morning my quads felt a good bit better - but it’s clear their pain has been disguising hamstring pain😂. I feel a lot better today and normally it’s the Thursday after a marathon that I feel like this so I’m pleased to be mostly back to normal again.
Might be able to jog tomorrow 
Tried 500m today but after 100m of old man hobble decided it was a bad idea still not recovered enough.
Walked 2½km instead.
Outlaw Half in two weeks might be a disaster, only on the bike twice this month 1½ hours and no swimming since February
Resting HR back to normal.
Everyone just went out to the sandwich van so I ran across the office while they were out. I can run again. 
Might try a few kms later before the thunder storms.
A good time to be swimming instead perhaps… 
Said no triathlete, ever 
Funny you mention that. Summer OW time table starts today and a local lake is 20.5C, but by the time I realised this, it was too late to pack my swim stuff.
If they are open Monday I plan on going then.
Wonder if I can rearrange my day to make it this evening.
I ran 1.7km this morning after my earlier post.
And
5.1km at lunch time, it was lovely. A bit sore still but only a very small amount more than after a training long run.
Edit: sat in the garden, very cloudy and humid. I could have gone OWS (swimming) but didnt want to go 40 minute trip and it be closed due to thunder storms.
I take that back. Went for an easy jog this morning at over 1 min per mile slower than my marathon pace and gave up after 1.6 miles. Quads just don’t feel happy.
Had a lovely stroll back home, saw some friends, had a chat and the world is all good.
Tomorrow we go again at parkrun. I’ll be taking it just as easy as today and see how I get on.
I’m just trying to remember my recovery after London Marathon and I’m pretty sure that I couldn’t run a step for at least a week afterwards. It’s just your body’s way of telling you to rest.
I was watching the Marathon on Sunday and one of the commentators was talking about Safan Hassan. If I remember correctly after the Olympic marathon she took three months off and put on 10kgs!!! Not suggesting you do the latter but rest is clearly good for you
I was going to ask at some point today but you’ve already got in there.
It is possibly going to take longer than normal for you, as you were compromised in the volume and long runs going into it.
There’s no rush to get back at it is there?
Or do you need to from the mental health aspect of getting out there and excerising? Theres always swimming 
I’m about 24 hours better off than last time which I think is because I managed to get those 35½km (22 mile) runs in.
I can still feel the weekend but it doesn’t feel any worse than the day after a long run where I went a touch too fast.
I think you’re right in that my training into the race is probably affecting my recovery. I’m in no rush to return to “normal” training so just taking it day by day. I’m good with that.
As for swimming there’s no way I’m going to a pool but we do live very close to the sea - I went by a short while ago and it looks nice and blue - however there’s a bit of a chilly breeze and the water will be very cold. If it was flat calm I’d be tempted to just give the legs a soak.
On Tuesday of this week our running club (which I never go to) had a spring marathon finishers photo call so I went to that. The normal club session then took place and there were about four or five who’d done London at the weekend. I said to at least two of them that they can’t have tried hard enough at London if they’re running that evening.
One of them from our club is mighty impressive though. A V55 who ran 2:50 in Tokyo in March, then ran 2:55 in Boston and six days later ran 2:55 in London. His body just seems to keep going and going. He’s a dentist so can probably afford the massages and normatec boots etc.
Perfect for sore legs.
2hr to 2.30, im guessing not all runs were being logged. Most Elites are very secretive and only stick a few crumbs up. Most doing double run days regularly also.
Could be, but nothing to indicate that in the article or abstract of the study
Those running between 3:30 and 4:00, meanwhile, covered (fittingly) an average of 26.2 miles a week – a substantial amount of running, but not an intimidating number for the committed marathoner. Plus, it’s less than what is suggested by many training plans.
Worth emphasising these are 16wk averages, no reference to peaks and troughs
——-
Looks like triathletes can “break the mold”, my 4h55 was on a 21km avg, and not for sixteen week either 
I recon 3.30 to 4 is about right based off my n+1 experience .
