When Can I Run Again after the NYC Marathon?

When can I run again after the NYC Marathon? A simple, yet extremely common, question for runners!

In an interview with Lauren Johnston of Running Dialogue, the New York Daily News running blog, we discussed when it's ok to hit the pavement again.

I'd recommend taking at least a full week off from high impact exercise. If you get really antsy, try some light/easy work on a bike, rower, or an elliptical trainer. After that, the decision to run again will vary from person to person. In general, the bigger your running base and marathon build up, the sooner you can start running and building you mileage back.

For more tips on when to run again and when to get a massage, read Ben's comments here.
