Training Advice/Discussion Marathon

7 years ago 07/26/2016 11:24am EDT

Hi, I am a New England runner. I am looking to run a Marathon, but choices are limited and I am in nursing school. Trying to stick close to home and on weekends I am off from work.

Planning to run a marathon in 2017 and a 50K in 2018. Looking to run either the New Hampshire Marathon in Bristol NH of course ha. The other option is the Cape Cod Marathon. Any recommendations of which to choose? Any personal experience?

Planning to run the Traprock 50K in April.

Now third question is if somehow I survive nursing school like to run a marathon in May or June? I am thinking Burlington, but any recommendations on a Marathon late May or early June?

Appreciate the feedback.

Nursing school is not that hard. Bob Kempainen was an elite marathoner during MEDICAL SCHOOL and Gywn Googan did a PhD in MATHEMATICS during her prime. So a measly bsn is nothing. YOu'll be ok. Just run.
