I’m curious to know if anyone has ever dealt with an ulcer while training. I am smack in the middle of marathon training for a race in December and I found out this week that I may have an ulcer. Labs are pointing to that, but they will scope it out in the next couple of weeks to find out for sure.

At first the doctor said take it easy but then when i was talking to a nurse later about meds, she said that I should be able to exercise at the same level as I have been. I didn’t push the question becaause part of me didn’t want the doc to come back and “ground” me. But with a long run scheduled for the a.m., I’m starting to worry a bit and wish I had discussed it further. I can’t seem to find much online about whether or not it is safe to train with an ulcer, but I assume it can’t be that bad. I’m just thinking I will stop if it hurts.

Anyone here ever have any experience with it?
