In this week’s episode of The Marathon Handbook Podcast, hosts Katelyn Tocci and Alex Cyr take the reins while Michael is away coaching at a cross-country meet. (00:00) After covering back-to-back marathons in Chicago and Toronto, they share travel chaos stories and post-race reflections. (10:15) The conversation turns to post-marathon blues — what to do when the season ends or when your race doesn’t go to plan. (17:40) Listener Erin writes in about whether to run a redemption marathon, sparking an in-depth discussion on recovery timing, mental reset strategies, and avoiding injury. (31:00) Katelyn recounts her own mistake running too soon after a 100-miler, and Alex offers tips for managing motivation in the off-season. (50:00) The hosts close with how to structure recovery weeks, stay inspired during the winter, and find joy in running again before the next big race. (1:03:00) Plus, they tease what’s ahead for the Marathon Handbook team in New York.
