Hi TheEd,
I am surprised by your answer, always thought you are advocating rather the shorter distances. I talked to some others and they (including my new physio-therapist) recommended racing shorter for at least a year to get to my marathon potential more healthy and at least as quickly.
I have no time for another marathon if I cancel Paris (see pm). I will consider running it only if the shins feel 100% fine during the next few days (which is unlikely).
I would be afraid of picking the wrong pace and suffering badly at the end... or even turning my small problems to a stress fracture.
I completed my planning for summer 10ks and I would hate to jeopardize it. Shouldn't I think long term? Or at least medium long?
