Have planned to do Trimpell 20 on 26th March, but have now discovered I could also do Wilmslow half the week before, a race I like and that I have a freee entry for as I didn't run last year.
However - this would mean running Wilmslow half on 19th March (FLM -5 weeks), Trimpell 20 on 26th (-4 weeks) and Coniston 14 (-3 weeks).
Not sure about racing three weeks on the bounce - maybe I should not so Wilmslow and do a decent LSR instead - March is peak mileage month after all.
Thoughts?

one thing you dont want to do is get injured and not be able to do flm all your training will go to waste then you will be mad
you still have three weeks from your last race till flm plenty off time to take it easy and get ready for the big day
iam doing my first marathon this year white peaks in derbyshire in may
STG - problem with using Wilmslow half as a long run is it's not really long enough at that time - I'll be looking to run 20-22 miles that week, and even eith a decent warm up/down it's not going to get much beyond 16 or 17.
and good luck on that time for flm i no theres a lot off hard work goes in to it
Road wise I think there will be three or four races:
10 miler in feb, 10k in early march, Southern Road Relay leg in late march, if selected for A team National Road Relay Leg early april.
With 4-6 cross country races (but these are just hard training runs) thru jan and feb.
Saw a few red/green vests last year but couldn't work out what club it was.
I share your problems with races - although I really enjoyed a 10k the week before FLM05 where I jogged the first 5k then ran a hard 5k to finish - good for the soul to pass so many people!
