I threw my hat in lottery for the Chicago marathon this year. I thought it would be a good experience to run the distance prior to making the jump to IM in 2017. As luck would have it, I got a bib for the marathon. Looking at my current season roadmap, I now realize there are only 8 weeks between Steelhead and the marathon. Coming off a half marathon training base, is this enough time to put in a proper training for the full marathon? I would anticipate shutting down the bike/swim and focusing solely on running during this period.
6/11 Boulder 70.3 8/7 Steelhead 70.3 10/9 Chicago Marathon
