Hello-okay so I have been running pretty faithfully since the end of January.... I did a half marathon in 2.16.01 in April, and did a 5.2 mile race in June in 44+.....I have been doing Insanity since the begining of June as well. So here is my poll question.............

    Hmmm! I am not really sure how difficult it is... But why not both? They are in different months!

    But whatever you choose, being able to do it is commendable! Congrats! :flowerforyou:

    I think you should go with the full if you feel up to it!

    I've been where you're at. I've run two full marathons and if you are motivated to do it than start training now. You should do a 20 to 22 mile long run about 3 weeks before the race. There are a ton of books on training for a marathon. It's cool to be able to say you've run a full marathon.

    I agree with Anu. Any marathon training plan has you doing long runs leading up to the big race, so just make the half your long-run for that week. Congrats on your accomplishments!!

    I may just do the half to improve my time. My husband is laid off right now so I don't want to put up too much $$. I really would love to do the full.......to say I did, to prove to myself I can..................Running non-stop for 4.5 hrs, I am afraid I will hit a wall!
