I've got a 50mile route organised for end of March next year, Manchester to Liverpool - and a friend has just asked if I'd like to do the Manchester Marathon with them.

The Manchester Marathon is only 3 weeks after the Ultra, so I'm just wondering if that's enough time in-between to recover?

It took me probably a fortnight to recover from my first marathon, so could I expect it to take 3-4 weeks to recover from my first Ultra? Is it a silly idea to do this so soon after?

So basically I'm just gauging how long it takes people to recover after their first 50mile ultra!

Thanks!
