10 marathons in 10 days

I am doing 10 marathons in 10 day in about 7 weeks times I currently do about 40 to 50 miles a week but I have done 5 marathons in 5 days just wonder if anyone could give me any advice on what else should I be doing in terms of training

    Some people do the ten days in  arrow  running thing gradually building mileage. Others just follow fairly standard marathon programs but with more back to back long runs.

    Think with 7 weeks to go and some taper that your training is pretty set by now.

    Main thing is rest and recovery and the mental side of the challenge.

    Good luck

    Thanks Keith that what I thought of doing by adding more miles each week. Im doing it for charity so hopefully that should hep me on the mental side.

    What Keith said. Main thing is many miles in your legs. I am assuming you will not be chasing a pb on any of these 10 marathons so they will be more like running a marathon training run rather than a race. If so, even your taper is not critical although you should start your "marathon effort" well rested and injury free.

    Good luck!
