Hi all,
Both the wife & I are considering doing half marathons on the 22nd & 29th July. Is this a wise/sane thing to do.
The first one is in Wycombe & the following weekend in Milton Keynes.
I average around the 1hr 40 mark & the wife around 1hr 30/35.
We plan just to jog on the Wednesday between the 2 dates.
Any thoughts from you would be grand!

have fun!
I'm planning to do the Great Cumbrian Run half marathon on Oct 14th then another in Amsterdam on 21st. As Cougie suggests, I'm targeting one, (the second) for my PB.
Hoping for 2hrs in Carlisle and around 1:45 in Amsterdam, so not as quick as you.
Would be interested to know how you get on.
Good luck
Plodding Hippo, I'm also gutted at the Abingdon marathon being cancelled, so it looks like Luton in December to do my 2nd marathon.
Selfish Git, Back to back marathons is a tad extreme, best of luck. In regards to the wife being faster, It's good, because she can get me my drinks and clothes whilst she is waiting for me. I may have lied about that but it sounds good.
Cougie & XL-man, sounds like a plan to target one of them, but at the same time you only live once, and Wycombe's start is very steep to say the least, so the extra effort may well be in MK.

I like your 'only live once' comment Woodle. My Carlsile run is with a friend whose PB is 2:03:01 - really hope we can get under 2 hrs in that one. So far we're going very well this year. So th esigns are good.
My PB is 1:49:04 in the GNR - I'm hoping a less crowded event and the extra mileage I'm putting in this year, will help me to take a big chunk off that.
