It has been 3 weeks since the Coastal Delaware Marathon. I thought I could accelerate recovery, but that didn't happen. Week 1 was bad from a soreness perspective. In week 2, pain started in one calf muscle. It felt like a cramp but not full-on pain. This slowly resolved itself in week 3. I am back to 15+ miles long and tempo runs at target marathon paces. I am still at 2 off days a week so plan on getting back to normal training weeks starting next week (40-50 miles a week, 2 tempo/hill/internal workouts a week). I have continued to reduce paces to target zone 2 heart rates for non-aggressive workouts. Over the summer, this will be the approach to see if I can increase endurance at marathon race pace. If I can maintain marathon pace of 8:15 minute miles from mile 20 to 26.2, based on the Coastal Delaware Marathon, I can recover 4.5 minutes. This would put me on track for the goal time of 3:30 minutes.
