7 marathons 6 weeks or 8 in 8 weeks

Starting with the Gold Coast marathon on the 7th July and finishing with the Mudgee marathon on the 25 August I will run 8 marathons in eights weeks OR starting from the Hunter Winery marathon on the 21st July it will be 7 marathons in 6 weeks.

The weekend of the 3 & 4 August is a double in Brisbane with marathons on Saturday and Sunday. 

How excited by the challenge of week following week of marathons. With a week off and then it is the Glasshouse 100 miler. A nice base building period for GH. 

At the moment I am injury/niggle free but well underdone on endurance although maybe not with the 3.38 at Macleay. However I am think that might be the high water mark of my times for this year. I will be happy to be comfortably under 4 hours in all of them except the double weekend might be a bit slower in each.

Long term is to be in a position to run 3.45 or better at Sydney.

That's some schedule. Don't know how you recover! 3:45 shouldn't be too much a stretch in Sydney.
