If you're doing two marathons, yo...Hey, Lindy!<br /><br />If you're doing two marathons, you get honorary status with the ultra gang. ;-)<br /><br />My advice would be to just go for it. Be sensitive to any pain that feels like an injury - you don't want to miss the 2nd one because you pushed through some sharp pain in the first one. Don't be afraid to make that call as you go. Otherwise, pull out all the stops for your recovery between the two races - ice baths, massage, stay hydrated, etc. - and be sure to start running/moving again within 2-3 days. You don't have to do mileage, but at least go clock a mile or two at your goal pace. <br /><br />See you out there!<br /><br />SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-41401411004402956062010-03-29T09:41:19.823-07:002010-03-29T09:41:19.823-07:00Always love the pictures and the stories!!!

B2B- when attempting 2 marathons in 2 weeks, do you take it easy on the first one? Run slower than what Im capable of? Or just "go for it"??? It was fun to see your comment on my blog the other day!<br />Thanks coach!<br />LindyLindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405296794634579533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-81152041615930711992010-03-25T17:25:05.584-07:002010-03-25T17:25:05.584-07:00Way late to comment here but awesome PR, Scott.

Not buying it one bit. My guess is that you are just properly stretching. ;-)<br /><br />Malcolm - 100k! Wow! Congrats to you for signing up. My experience with the 100k is that hydration, calories, and sunscreen matter more than ever. Be diligent on all three fronts. That and I often say to be sure you have some internal motivation to keep you through the tough spots, but I think Pearl's smile is all you need.<br /><br />Paul - I think the big breakthrough on speedwork was that I actually started doing it. ;-) I do two sessions a week, mostly on the treadmill - one 6-8x800 (@ 5:30 min/mile pace), and one fartlek with 3-4 mile repeats (@ 5:45 min/mile pace). I also added a short speed session to every third long run - after the long run, do 3 miles on a treadmill at your goal marathon pace. If you can get through it, you're gold at that pace (note - this workout is very exhausting, so don't try it too often). Lastly, I should note it has been helpful to treat these hard workouts with respect - ease up the day before, warm up properly, rest afterward - so that you can give it your all and adapt quickly. I'm about to switch up the speedwork since I have a 1500m and 5000m in July, so I'll write something up about what's working. <br /><br />Thx for the comments!<br /><br />SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-5369263308318371832010-03-09T09:57:35.303-08:002010-03-09T09:57:35.303-08:00Very good run.Your times seem to be improving with...Very good run.Your times seem to be improving with your age!

I had the good fortune of running a short 4 miles with him in Central Park on Saturday (courtesy of Jackrabbit sports) and came away so impressed and humbled by the guy.
