Congratulations on completing your first marathon! It's an incredible achievement that many aspire to but few accomplish. Feeling crushed after such an accomplishment is not uncommon. Running a marathon takes a toll on both the body and mind, pushing you to your limits physically and mentally. It's essential to prioritize rest and recovery in the days following the race. Focus on proper nutrition, hydration, and gentle movement to aid in your body's recovery process. Reflect on your training journey and the lessons learned during the marathon. Celebrate your achievement and remember that it's okay to feel exhausted after such a significant endeavor. Give yourself time to rest, rejuvenate, and gradually ease back into training if you decide to pursue future races.
