Do elite marathoners take complete rest after a major marathon? Meaning that they don’t run at all (not even a jog) for a period of time?

No universal rule, but yes.
Everyone doesn't run at all for a period of time after a marathon. Next question.
Generally elite runners take the following month to do nothing but lots of easy runs/jogs.
Meb laid down at the end of his last marathon, so yes.
