"Hi! I’m Angela on behalf of Expertvillage.com and right now, I am going to show you one of the ways to train for a marathon. After a day of heavy running you run 10 miles, 12 miles, 14 miles, you are definitely going to want to the next day have a recovery run. A recovery run should extend no longer than 30 minutes and it should just be very, very easy. I am going to show you on the treadmill a kind of pace that would be considered a recovery run. After doing a recovery run, the following day should be just a day of rest to let all the muscles repair. See it is a very easy run, just getting my muscles warmed up but it is not overexerting them to where they will be torn and in that case, I would not be able to run at all for days on end. You just want to do this for about 25 to 30 minutes and cool down and rest the next day."
