Subject: RE: 2 -Half Marathons in one week?
I agree with CTDon in that it has happened for me over the course of marathon and iron training. So, if there, why not in a formalized race setting?!
CTDon's other piece of advice is good, using the first for the best effort, and the second as recovery.......or very broadly for whatever happens. However, you could also use the first one as a true test of a few things, most notably pace and nutrition, and then be ready to rock a week later. But if they are both the same for you in terms of importance, race the first and use the second for recovery/fun -- or as a "fallback", if necessary.
I hope it goes well for you --- even to the point of maybe learning that you are a bonafide half-marathon animal!
