Jess Logue - Hub Member Story - 5:51 to 3:29 Marathon Runner

For months you put your heart and soul into training, pouring all of your energy, and dedication into that one day… and then it’s over.  But no one really talks about what’s next?   Recovery. After the high of the marathon, recovery can feel confusing.  You go from running all the time to doing absolutely nothing, and it’s easy to wonder, “Should I be doing more?”  The main thing to remeber is that RECOVERY is not the same for everyone. And you need to listen to your body.  In this week's episode the why, what and how on recovery. We discuss what you could be doing in the first few weeks after your race and how to slowly transition back to your normal routine.  Don't move on too quickly though, remember to celebrate everything you have just achieved.      We have slots opening for coaching soon so if you'd like to apply you can do so here - Coaching Application - Join The Running Hub Join The Running Hub Community - Our Membership Option Social Media LinksFollow us on instagram - @therunninghubcommunity @run_with_coachkatie @coach_james_trh Follow us on Facebook   Follow us on YouTube  Speak to the [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Purchase our new Strength Guide Here.  Shop our website & new limited edition range - www.therunninghub.co.uk/shop
