Half Marathon before a Marathon - How much time for a taper? (Read 214 times)

Thanks for the input folks.  Thought I would come back and update this with my personal results.

 

Ended up with a shiny new PR on my half marathon that I ran 4 weeks before my goal marathon even though conditions were a little tough.

 

Then 4 weeks later I shattered my marathon PR by over 21 minutes and got a BQ minus 10 minutes at the Revel Mt. Charleston marathon.

 

Pretty pumped right now!

Holy s***! It's about time!!! Super duper congrats!!!!!!!

Congrats! If I had read this thread earlier I would have recommended a month or so before.
