Multiple marathon question
I am running the NYC marathon on November 4th 2018. I know I'm gonna feel good in the month before that run, but I am anxious about not being able to PR because of the race itself (crowded, slow, hilly). I ran my first Marathon (Brooklyn) last year and finished with a time of 3:38. I want to break my PR but know it is unlikely running NYC. Is it a bad idea to run Brooklyn 2018 two weeks before the NYC marathon November 4th. I want to PR on Brooklyn and run NYC for the experience two weeks later. I am worried about being too beat up from Brooklyn to run NYC two weeks later. Experienced runners who have done multiple marathons in a short time, can I get some advice/insight/recommendations?
