Anyone train for a marathon while starting ft in IB?
I start full time this summer with 6 weeks of training/on-boarding and then I hit the desk in September. With the marathon in November, I would only be ~2 months into being full time. Given that I'd just be starting, do you guys think the potential workload would be overbearing? Don't want to prepare for it to all blow up in the end.
