Subject: RE: 20-mile race seven weeks before marathon?
Body:

Thanks again for the responses. Jag1's suggestion (MP effort with practicing drink/gels) is where I'm leaning at the moment. I realize that 10 easy and 10 at MP is the more conservative and maybe even more sensible approach, but I'd also like to take advantage of the opportunity to test my fitness and practice for the big event. I think high 2:30s is a reasonable target, but I am new to the marathon so am thinking a test would be a good confirmation of my goal pace (+ give a confidence boost if all goes well). As pr100 said, I can always shut it down if I know I'm redlining (which of course also would mean that I overestimated my marathon pace). Thanks to all, helpful stuff!
