BHF marathon in a month

Is anyone else planning to do this? Seems a good way to keep running and for a good cause! I reckon I can do 2x5k a week & 3 in the last week to cover the distance.

Head across to the marathon forum for advice... this is a huge jump from 5K!

That was my first thought Floss but I think it is the marathon distance over a month. I remember seeing something similar before.

Good luck Katkin68 if it is that - if not think again!!!

Hi I haven’t done the one you are doing but have done an Ironman in a month which included doing a marathon distance over the month, worked really well for motivation as my lazy gremlins might have made me skip a run or swim here and there if it wasn’t for the fact I had to complete it within the timeframe!

Yes, it's the distance of a marathon spread over a month. No chance of me doing it in less!
