It's really hard to do both. If your priority race is the marathon, focus more on the distance for now. That doesn't mean you can't throw in an occasional speed day, but I wouldn't fret if you're not getting faster. Throwing in a half marathon as part of your marathon training isn't a bad idea at all, and if you've got the legs, go ahead and go for the PR, but remember that's not the priority. <br /><br />If you're not digging the fuel belt, get a run bottle. Super easy to run with, super easy to refill(i.e. at aid stations, no more choking on water trying to drink out of stupid little cups). Fuel Belt makes a good one. It's got a strap for your hand, and a little pocket for a key and a couple gels.Kills Many Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502120687179819246noreply@blogger.com
