Is four weeks between two half marathons enough rest?
Want to perform in both races, but the second race has priority.

I once ran 2HMs in 2 weeks and it was way too much. I was doing about 80 - 90 mpw and 2 - 3 days of quality.
At about the same type of training I ran a good HM - 1:11 followed 3 weeks later by a surprisingly good Marathon - 2:29.
I think 3 weeks is enough rest for the HM.
4 weeks should be plenty if you are doing 75+ mpw with two or three quality days.
