Marathon Running Podcast by Marathon Journal

Feeling the post-marathon blues or struggling with off-season funk? You’re not alone. In this video, Coach Todd from Smart Approach Training breaks down why runners often feel off after a big race — physically, mentally, and hormonally — and shares strategies to reset both body and mind. Learn why rest doesn’t mean regression, how to set mini goals, and why winter training can be the key to long-term progress.

Whether you’ve just finished a marathon or are navigating the quieter weeks between races, this video gives practical tips to stay motivated, recover effectively, and plan for your next big running goal. From gentle movement to cross-training and reflection on achievements, Coach Todd explains how to turn downtime into an opportunity for growth.
