I took two weeks off after NYC before running again. This week is just very easy effort for around 30 minutes. I like taking up an activity not related to running between training cycles. Its usually bike riding but this time its pickball (which I am terrible at! 😆). But its nice to play and get a mental break before jumping back into training.
You forgot the most important thing to do after running a marathon: sign up for another marathon! I've only run one marathon so far, and plan to run my next in a few weeks. I'll most likely take about a week off, maybe two. I already have another marathon planned for 2025, though.

Yes! I fully support this! It's a nice mental break, but also works your body and aerobic system differently

Hahah so true! Have to have something on the calendar for sure
