Hi, in February I would like to run a Marathon. At the moment I am following a LONG TRIATHLON plan for Ironman in June.
Currently I am not receiving any weeks of Buikd for the Marathon but only the last two of Taper 2/1 Marathon.
How could I best prepare for the race?
I was thinking of replacing the Vo2 max swimming and Strength Training sessions with Run-specific ones (with workout Wizard it is possible to replace only swimming with running and not Bike with running from “Injury”).
What do you recommend?

Hey @Giuseppe85
Since your A race is Ironman in June, and marathon is your B race, then it will only taper you with two weeks of marathon specific taper to not lose too much swim and bike specific fitness.
I would use the workout wizard to increase frequency of running in preparation to your marathon. Can you afford swimming a little bit less - then change those swims to running. I would definitely keep bikes as is because they are important for your Ironman.
Hope this helps,
MJ
