You will be feeling very good about yourself now that you have done a marathon, however you will also have though “how am I going to do more than double that distance!” The trick will be to continue your steady development with patience.
You will do another marathon or possibly a shorter ultra (50km) in March as a TRAINING RUN, this is important because if you don’t you will struggle to recover.

Hi Sarah – there’s a typo in the PDF (I’ll fix now) but the training programme is correct for March.
Thanks. Was also surprised be a 45min easy run on 6th March, but I’ll happily accept it!
