    Frank Duffy 10M and the DCM half are a month apart, most marathon plans have these included in the plan so I don't see the harm of you racing both a month apart

    I'm doing two HM's in the build up... Clonmel which is the same weekend as the FD 10, and the race series half. I figure it's ok to do both.

    K I think if you're only doing 2 then do the 10 mile and the half. Doing the 3 would be fine too. I get Hedgehoggy's point about gauging progress but I would advise against worrying about that. Remember you'll be in the middle of a plan. The half might go brilliantly well, it might not. I ran a horrible stinker of a half in Ratoath which showed no progress from my effort 5 months previously but it was an unreliable guide to the marathon I was to actually run.

    Thats actually a very good point. Hadn't thought about it that way. The main thing is the marathon and training will be leading to that not a half, so not necessarily a guide for the marathon!

    Thanks for the responses folks.
    I guess I was just drawn to the 10k race option given that the majority of my 60 minute runs since the beginning of the year are this exact distance but obviously, it's not an ideal basis on which to run a race of the same distance.
    10 mile and half marathon distances would suit me fine.
