5 weeks out from a marathon...
Is it detrimental to get a few vials of blood drawn for a routine physical exam or is that too small of an amount too matter?

bump - anyone?
You should be fine to do this.
Some elites do it within a week of a major race. Typically the amount is within what you could fluctuate in a normal day.

It's not a week before the major race, it's about a month beforehand. A week before the major race they are too busy reinjecting that blood back in.
