Is there a time period during marathon training within which ad hoc weekend rides with pals will be off the menu entirely? Say a hilly 100km in the Peak District or something?
It's pretty much always fine. As ^ said, maybe be sensible during a taper but otherwise just see how your body feels.
I think for most people if a 15 mile run becomes a 10 mile run following a 100k bike the day before then you'll not be at a disadvantage.When doing training for Ironman then obv I had a lot of weekends which were either
Long bike Saturday, med/long run Sunday
or
Med/long bike Saturday, long run Sunday

I've convinced myself I want to apply myself to something and am wondering if that thing is a marathon??
To stave off the impulse a bit I'm thinking I should maybe get form up to the point of comfortably running a half (I've been able to just about run a half a few times, but it's never been comfortable) before entering one.
