Overtraining is a real risk for runners, whether you’re a competitive athlete logging big mileage or someone simply trying to stay consistent with training. When you’re balancing running with work, family, and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to fall into the trap of squeezing in hard workouts whenever you can.

Running one marathon is hard. Running eight, across eight different countries, in pursuit of a medal that builds itself piece by piece?
