M'thon trainin, on the fells?

[Runningfox]

I only once ever raced 2 marathons within 4 weeks of each other and said I'd never do it again. Suppose it depends if you're racing the 3 Peaks or using it as a long training run.

As you'll see from my previous post I ran the London Marathon and 3 Peaks with only one week in between, having done all my training on the fells. I was RACING both, and won the MV60 category in both, not using one as a training run. Compared with running the fells the roads of London were a doddle. The fells developed strength and stamina to the extent that London took nothing out of my legs at all. But the Peaks did. I don't think I could have run London quite so fast if I'd run the Peaks first.
Cheers!
