Hello All,
I am new to the forum. I have been debating on completing a full marathon 4 weeks prior to the CDA70.3. Last year was my first year doing triathlons and I did the CDA Full IM, and was back to running half marathons within a few weeks, boasting 2 personal records on two seperate half marathons a few weeks after IronMan. In other words, I felt pretty good to run again after the full IM.
Is it a bad idea to do a full marathon prior to a half IM? I won't be racing the marathon, just taking it easy. All responses are welcome.
