would I do (or recommend you do) a 26 mile run prior to your first marathon. It will take a you a while to recover from that. Not enough time if you are following a typical marathon training schedule where you do your last LSD (20 miles) about 3 weeks before your marathon. Just my opinion. Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
