One of my [[Top 10 Marathon Training Mistakes]] is detraining between marathons.

One of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of marathon training plans is the amount of rest and recovery you get. Without sufficient rest, you won't be able to adapt and [[Supercompensation| {{table}}Supercompensate]].

The plans involve a lot of long and medium long runsIf you prefer to run more frequently, and some speedwork.
