    Right - I definitely wouldn't mind skipping all the post-race recovery and fitness loss

     

    If you do skip it, what are you going to use that retained fitness for?

      Is there a 50k near you in the near future? You could get an automatic PR if that's a new distance for you and still be able to take advantage of your current fitness.

          I know you know it wasn't your last cycle alone that made you BQ. Racing after a cycle does not make all the training count, or rather not racing after a cycle does not waste all the training

            Heh, that's just your opinion. 

            I was wondering though if there was a flat half she could do, and PR the hell out of based on marathon training. Not quite as satisfying as PRing a marathon, but the next best thing imho.

              Of course Smile

               

              A half is fun, and it doesn't destroy you like a marathon does. In my opinion Smile

                I actually had that idea too but races dry up around here this time of year

                  My thought exactly.  Use that fitness to destroy a half.

                    look, if there was a half marathon in the next 3 weeks in this area that was a fast course I would be on it. But there's not. There is only the Madison half that is as hilly as the Madison Marathon.
