First time marathon

Seriously considering my first marathon next year. I have my sights on the Greater Manchester marathon in April. I currently run ~ 30miles pw and I intend to do a good 4-5 months training. But it's likely 5 weeks before the race I'll be abroad with limited training opportunities for 3 weeks (the odd treadmill session and a few runs on the beach but no serious miles) Any gurus out there know whether this is a bad idea?

Can't see it making that much difference - you're going to lose very little fitness in that time, especially if you dabble when you can.. just try to get a long run in one early morning a couple of times and you should be fine with the odd treadmill session. I'm not a guru (only ran 2, and only just managed sub 4), but if you've prepared weel in the 4 months beforehand it won't be wasted.
