# I’ve finished my plan—what should I do next?


# After a Marathon / Half-Marathon Plan

Recovery after a marathon or half-marathon is crucial and should not be underestimated! Sometimes it feels like recovery is going well and you’re tempted to start running again too soon. Be careful! A large number of runners get injured 2 to 3 weeks after completing a marathon or half-marathon.

We recommend that you **don’t run at all for at least one week**, and possibly even two if you feel like you're not fully recovered.

No running doesn't mean **no activity**! Cycling and swimming are great cross-training options during this period to help you maintain your fitness and endurance habits—just keep it light and easy to allow your body to properly recover.

# After a 10K Plan

Following your 10K race, we suggest waiting **one week** before starting a new training plan. If recovery is going well, you can do **one to three easy runs of around 30 minutes**, but again, nothing too intense—give your body the rest it needs.

# After a Speed, Endurance, VO2 Max, or Comeback Plan

The advantage of non-race-based training plans is that they don’t end with a competition. So, there's **no need to take a full week off**—in fact, the **last week of your plan was already a recovery week**!

# After a Beginner Plan

Finishing the Beginner Plan is a big milestone. Now, you’re ready to take on any of Campus' “regular” training plans! Don’t worry—each program is tailored to your fitness level, so even if you're no longer officially a beginner, you’ll be able to keep up just fine.

# What's Next?

Now you have several options! As we often remind you on Campus, we’re focused on **long-term and steady progress**. That means planning your season strategically.

We encourage you to start thinking about your **next goals** and what you'd like to prioritize. Once you’ve set your main goal, you can pick the plan that best suits it.

# Thinking About Signing Up for a Race?

If it’s within the next 6 months, you can **start a race-focused training plan right away** to prepare for it!

If you **don’t have a specific race goal** or date in mind just yet…

Why not focus on developing a specific skill (like speed, endurance, or VO2 max)? And if you’d rather take things a bit more relaxed for the next few weeks, our **maintenance plan** could be a great fit!
