How running doesn’t end at the goal — and how to turn running into a lifelong sustainable practice.
You trained for months. You crossed the finish line. But what happens after the race is just as important as the marathon itself.
The truth? Many runners feel empty, restless, or low in the days after. It’s called the Post-Marathon Blues – and it’s more common than you think.
👉 That’s why I created this free guide: to help you recover, reflect, and keep moving beyond the medal.
The hidden challenge after the marathon.
Crossing the finish line is unforgettable. But what comes after can feel strange:
A sudden emptiness
Guilt for not “feeling great”
No clear structure
Low motivation
You’re not alone.
Studies show that up to 74% of marathoners experience these feelings in the days after a race. Even experienced runners. Even me.
👉 „If you feel this way right now: I see you. You’re not weak. You’re human. And you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.“
This doesn’t mean you failed. It just means your body and mind are asking for the right recovery.
My philosophy is simple:
Performance yes. Goal no.
Movement is everything.
Running doesn’t stop at the finish line. It becomes your foundation.
👉 “Most coaches push you toward the next goal. I won’t. My focus is on building your foundation – so running becomes a sustainable, joyful practice, not a cycle of highs and lows.”
It’s not the end. It’s the beginning.
The days after your marathon are not a void. They’re a chance.
👉 A chance to let your body rest and heal.
👉 A chance to process what you’ve achieved.
👉 A chance to set up running as a sustainable part of your life – not just a cycle of goals.
