This is a solid schedule. Personally, two days rest, which I assume means no running, prior to the HM is unnecessary and may actually make you feel a bit heavy or 'off'. I might suggest just heading out for a 2 mile run the day before just to shake out the legs. This is somewhat a personal preference, but the body can occasionally respond negatively to multiple rest days in a row when you haven't taken more than a day off per week in the prior months.

^point taken @BloodnThunder. I will employ the 2m "shake out" run on the day before the HM [emoji106]

Definitely can do no harm. You will be in pretty good shape by the time of the HM so a 2 mile easy run is not going to cause you to be any less fresh on the day of the race.

Me & Jules completed the Bristol Half Marathon today. I was running in support of Jules who improved her PB from 2 hours 20 minutes (March 2017 at the Bath Half) to 2 hours 13 minutes today at the Bristol Half, an improvement of 7 minutes which is amazing
I'm running in my first full marathon in York in 3 weeks, more to come . . . . . -

Thank you steelworker, I actually checked the results from my last 1/2 and I beat my PB by 10 mins in 6 months… bit achy today though!

As you guys may know I am taking part in my first full marathon in York next Sunday;
The Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon Sunday 8th October 2017
I am being realistic in my completion time aiming for 4 hours. Training has gone well over the last 6 months and this time I am running for myself (not for a charity)
