u/run-run-run

As titled. About me:

I ran a 4:35 marathon last year and one in 2019 4:52. I got ambitious and cocky and signed up for the ballot on two flagship marathons.

Against the odds, I got picked for both.

Took the holidays period off running totally, but am now back into it and am ticking along nicely on an 18week HH Novice 2 plan hoping to get closer to 4:20 this year.

I think I'm all set training for the August marathon. But how do I best use the 6 weeks between to both recover and prepare for the October marathon?

Male, late 30s, dad-jogger (far from athlete level).
