Sample Day 46
Longer then a true recovery run, but easier then most endurance runs. Again, keep it easy and relaxed. Don't be tempted to pick up the pace at all.
Stretch after.
Sample Day 49
Keep it easy and steady for the first 20 minutes of the run, then build into marathon pace for final 15 minutes, finishing close to half marathon pace.
