Hi guys
Just looking for as much advice and information on recovery, nutrition and training for running 5 marathons on 5 consecutive Sundays.
Not 100% sure on goal finish time yet for the 5 but will probably be aiming for sub 3:00 for each, is this to ambitious given recovery time and chance of injury etc.? Planning to do this in August 2019.
Thanks

Recovery, prompt eating and hydration, recovery run on Monday morning and back into gentle training for the rest of the week, but take a couple of extra rest days if required. Lots of runners run marathons on consecutive weeks quite happily. You don't say how much travelling you have to do for your 5 races, the travelling can make you more tired, if you are driving long distances or flying off to various countries, so factor that in and get plenty of rest.
