Is the marathon or the rowing more important to you?

With two peaks on successive days, one is likely to suffer. Since rowing is akin to sprinting - lots of near-anerobic activity - I would be inclined to do the long runs on Sunday. Your racing won't be compromised by tired legs, and on Sunday you will be running on tired legs for much of the time anyway. It may be good practice for that last 6 miles of the marathon.

If you are part of a rowing team, it also seems more fair to your team mates not to compromise the group's performance. If you just row a single shell, it's up to you to choose, but if you want to be competitive, a long run the day before is not the way to go.

Out of curiosity, will the marathon be much after the end of the regatta season?
