Recovery after races is important but it is also important to have some down time between seasons! What does that mean? Decrease your total weekly mileage, take a break from speed work, lower your long run mileage e.g. marathoners should stick with ten miles and halfers with six miles. Substitute some of your runs with some cross training. Good options for runners include: walking, biking, swimming. It's also a good time to add some
strength training.
