The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
After shorter races (up to 10K): You can do your next hard run within as few as three days, if youâre a high-mileage runner. Otherwise, wait about five days. After a 10-miler or half-marathon: Fitter runners can go long or fast again after four or five days. More casual runners should wait at least a full week. After a marathon: All runners wishing to maintain a high level of fitness should do little or no running for four to seven days, followed by a week of only low-intensity running. Then you can return to your normal regimen.
