[quote=Anonymous]I agree with 18:59. I would NOT run a 20+ mile long run only two weeks before a marathon, especially one in which I was hoping to qualify. You really need those two taper weeks. I would do a couple of 20 and 22 mile training runs before that, with the last one on August 15th. You want at least 2 or 3 20 and 20+ milers I think. When I BQ'd, I did a 20-miler, a 22-miler and a 24-miler 2 weeks apart, with the final one 3 weeks before my qualifying race. Do you run with a water bottle in a hand holster? Your medal might fit in there. Or you could run back to the hotel with your medal and stuff, drop it off and continue running. You could probably just do 7 afterward and stop, since you're running the other 13 at race pace. Or see if you can transfer your half-marathon entry.[/quote]
