Would 6 weeks be optimal for time between a Half-marathon (at goal marathon pace) and the full marathon ?
I plan to try to hit marathon pace (6 min miles)for the 13.1 , I just hope its not too much too close.. I'm in pretty good shape mileagewise, +50 miles/week for a few months now with long runs of 100-115 minutes
I'll give this one bump, thanks
It's definitely not too close. Last spring I ran a 25k about 3 weeks out from my marathon and I think that was perfect.
Shouldn't be a problem. Here in NY we have the Grete HM 4 or 5 weeks ahead of NYC and it's a popular way to check fitness, get a race in, and help with confidence.
ive always heard 4 weeks out is ideal. but its probably different for different people (what isnt?). it shouldnt be too close. inside of 3 weeks is probably too close. if anything, 6 weeks is too far
