I've only.done two full maras, and they were done on six and four and a half months
of complete abstinence. I'd told myself I wasn't racing the half the other weekend, just fun-running it, and therefore didn't take the prep as seriouslys as I could. After getting to half way I lost my head and went for it, but got away with it.
I've only ever taken the full mara very, very seriously. Cos as you say, it's much further than two halfs
