I don’t think there’s any strict rules to live by on this one. I built up to a marathon on minimal running experience with 1 year to prepare. I came out fine. It’s not a one size fits all question or answer. I think so long as you’ve identified a plan to follow and work out your goals, why not. It’s like anything in life. Prepare well. Set reasonable expectations. You’re not getting any younger by delaying it.

I mean sure you can do it and be fine but it’s not the optimal progression if you want to become your absolute fastest
