Summary
Hi, my name is Emily and I'm one of the many who were signed up to run a marathon this spring. Now that London has been postponed to October (just like Tokyo earlier this year and Boston, too) — I like many of you have the question: What happens next? Today, I'm chatting about this with Nike Running and Brooklyn Track Club trail and ultra coach Jes Woods. We rap about mental strategies to handle the shift, and then exactly what you should do with all of that built up fitness. Should I still run long? Do I need to do intervals? Do I toss my training plan? Answers to all of that. No matter what distance you were gearing up for, we've got the tips you need to handle the unexpected.
