Yes, I am racing the mountain trial race, should be a good test for me at the end of the cycle and I will also compete against a couple of friends, which is always good. For me it also serves as a good quality training session leading up to the marathon, which is six weeks after the mountain trial race. Right in the middle, 3 weeks after mountain trial and 3 weeks before the marathon, there is a half marathon which i am considering (raced it last year in 1.26:14, my PB).
I am starting to get curious about the 6 week marathon program you mentioned earlier. Wondering about the content and also if the half marathon
can be slotted in (not necessarily racing at full speed).
Reminds me that I have signed up for a 5 x 5 km relay race on the 20th of August also, so I guess the complete "want to race" calendar looks like this:
Sat 8th of August: 23,5k mountain trial race. Decided.
Thursday 20th of August: 5 x 5 km relay race (I will run 5k). Decided, but do not need to race at full throttle
Sunday 30th of August: Half marathon. Want to run if it is beneficial towards the marathon (not necessarily full throttle), otherwise not
Saturday 19th of September: Marathon
