Where is the problem in the following scenario? Jack meticulously plans and completes an ambitious two-month training program aimed at producing a PR at the greatest marathon the world has ever known, the Mecca of marathoning: Boston. Race weekend comes, Jack runs the race, and, when it's all over, he has accomplished his goal: a brand spanking new PR. Congratulations, Jack!
So far, so good. But what does Jack do after the race? He follows no definite plan. For several months, he oscillates between catching colds and warding off injuries as, caught in the postrace letdown, he apathetically tries to resume serious training. He doesn't return to a systematic training program until four months after the race.
