Good day.

What's a good running pace for a half marathon 2 weeks before the marathon race: marathon pace or usual training one?

Greetings!

I can give you an example of my training cycle for a marathon.

The longest cross-country run should be performed 4-5 weeks before the marathon race.

A final (active) training should be done at least 10-12 days before the race start.

As for running a half-marathon 2 weeks before the marathon I would recommend you to run it at a gentle training pace in order not to endanger your recovery before the start. You should try to cumulate but not to waste energy a couple of weeks before the marathon start.
