Hi All,
I am attempting the UK Iron Man for the 1st time this year. I also thinking of entering The Trentham Big Half the week before as a warm up. Does any one have any opinion as to weather this is advisable with the two races so close together?
Thanks

I'm also doing IMUK this year and it'll also be my first long distance race. I had hoped to race a couple of half IMs over the early summer but unfortunately injury scuppered that idea. I'm currently facing the exact same question but was instead wondering whether a month before would be too soon!
From what I have read (but zero personal experience) I would say that a month is probably fine, down to 2 weeks is marginal but probably ok and anything less than 2 weeks is probably too soon.
Maybe someone more experienced has a view, but thats my two penny's worth.
