no, but this sounds very difficult. how much time do you have on your training? i hope you have 6-8 weeks. it sounds like a big factor of the second marathon, the full one, will be the fatigue. of course there is the traditional stress of a marathon, but im gonna assume your pretty advanced if your trying this. so what you need to start incorperating is 2, maybe even three a day runs. an example would be...
Morning, pace run, regular milage for day, do not count in second run. For example, if your supposed to run a 10 mile pace, dont run an 8 and save some for the second run. All out, regular workout.
Afternoon, longer distance, slower pace run. This will get your body used to shock of having to pick up/start up once again after stopping for brief periods of time.
Now this is my personall preference, hard first than soft. There are skeptics who claim that at that early in the morning, you cant get going as well and you may wind up with a better work out in the afternoon. Than again, doing your harder run in the blistering hot sun after already running 12-16 miles doesnt seem like a good idea to me.again, personall preference.
Three a days are brutal, and involves splitting your second run of the day into two smaller one, with a slight, SLIGHT increase in pace, im talking maybe 0:30 per mile, nothing huge.
Only do two-a-days or three-a-days if you feel your body is ready for it. It may take you a little bit to get to this point, but work your way up and dont push it.
I have a pretty big class load so i cant design a particularlar program for you, but i really couldnt anyway. this really depends on your skill and mental strength.
One last thing ,try to do as much milage on grass/paths as possible .pavement is very hard on the legs.
