uh.. a little help here..?!
Question: i am scheduled to run one marathon per day for 5 days in a row next week. (each marathong is 26 miles) what do i do? can i handle it?
Answers:
Your body can't store enough glycogen to do all that. Once you "hit the wall" (usually after 18-22 miles), it takes days to recover. If you had trained, you would know if you could handle it, but it is doubtful. I think your post is a crock. Nobody has marathon races on weekdays--they are on weekends, and it is hard to find one every weekend.
Other Answers:
No, you can't handle it. You need to seek counseling to find out why you felt the need to try.
Doesn't sound advisable to me. Is your insurance piad up?
Are you kidding? The first guy died after only one Marathon.

A twenty-six mile marathon is an extreme distance to run; however, a person in good physical condition could achieve this, but to run five of these consecutively for five days may prove a fatal attempt. Jose

If its next week I can't really help but only hope that you had a good training regimen for the past year or two. GOOD LUCK!
