* Once you feel the soreness is gone, start training in earnest. I would focus on doing marathon paced running for short to medium distance. Getting used to marathon pace will help program your mind and body to optimize for that pace. If the marathon pace is not easy (after recovery from the last race) for 6-10 miles, then think carefully about your goals.
* Limit your longest run to about 13 miles at marathon pace. If you feel you want to do more than that, add in a few miles at tempo pace rather than going further. For instance (10MP + 1T + 1MP + 1T), (9MP + 3T + 1MP) or similar would work well.
* I would do some speed work as well as MP runs. [[Yasso 800s ]] are great as both a work out and a predictor.
* I always believe in running fewer days, with every run a quality run. I think this is even more important when doing two marathons close together.
* Once you are recovered fully, I would not do any running at slower than marathon pace (recovery from intervals excepted). This is my advice for normal tapering as well.
