  In the chapter titled “Mile 27” in his best-selling book, _Marathon: The
  Ultimate Training Guide_, Hal Higdon explains what runners should do
  immediately after crossing the finish line:


  > _That 27th mile is particularly important when it comes to speeding
  postmarathon recovery so that you can run and race again. Your actions after
  the first 5 seconds after crossing the line may be crucial to your recovery—as
  are the next 5 minutes, the next 5 hours, the next 5 days and the next 5
  weeks. Postmarathon recovery is something many runners pay little attention
  to. But by organizing your postrace plans as well as you do your prerace
  plans, you can recover faster and more comfortably and minimize future
  injuries._


  One of the following three plans (whether you are a novice, intermediate or
  advanced runner) will speed your recovery. They begin with three days of no
  running, followed by a little running, climaxed at the end of the week by a
  celebratory run with friends, who also might be one week past their triumphs.
  Then four weeks of gradually progressive running leading to a race that could
  be anywhere from 5K to a half marathon. Once completing one of these recovery
  programs, you will be ready to train hard again. Although these Post Marathon
  Training programs originally were designed for marathoners, they also can be
  used by recovering half marathoners. Be aware that all three of Hal’s Post
  Marathon Training programs are available in an interactive format offered by
  [**TrainingPeaks**](https://www.trainingpeaks.com/coach/halhigdon).
