Would it be crazy
To run a full marathon one month after starting law school? This training for Riverbank has me thinking about continuing to train for a full (which is something I've always wanted to do). For those who have conquered 26.2, how hard is it to get there from 25km? Is that last month of training going to be too much with adjusting to a rigorous school schedule?
Re: Would it be crazy
I know absolutely nothing about running, but I would be concerned about the timing. You're probably going to be slammed with reading and assignments at that time, and it's going to be a huge adjustment. I feel like training for a marathon would just add more stress. Unless, of course you're one of those people who finds running to be relaxing... then it might be a good thing.
I think you'll be fine - I haven't trained for a marathon but Andy has. That last month might actually be the easiest time - the last 2 weeks will probably be taper, so you'll only have one or two long runs in that month to accomodate.
I know nothing about how strenuous the first month of law school is, however. I still don't think it would be hard to find 4 hours on a Saturday a couple of times for your long run - if you want to fit it in you will be able to.
Good luck!
This is the schedule I am following:

It's the same one I used for my first marathon last October. I know nothing about law school, but if your schedule will allow 3 midweek runs, one weekend long run (up to about 4 hours' worth, plus drive time if you do it elsewhere), and one day of cross-training (a bike ride?) I say go for it.
And if you do, let me know--you're welcome to join my running group's runs anytime!

Several of our members did it last year! I ran the half with a bunch of friends as a training run (the schedule called for 12 that day). It was SUPER rainy. Almost didn't happen b/c of the storms!
I do not think the ones who ran the full would do it again, however. I remember the half course being mighty hilly, and if that's the case for the full, it could be a doozy of a first. :z Also, the food at the end (more like the organization) left something to be desired. Perhaps that would be better this year since last year was the first one, I believe...
If you'd like, I can ask them for sure what they thought of it. The ones who ran are all veteran marathoners.
