I'm looking to run a European marathon in late November or December for a PB attempt. Any recommendations? My coach has suggested Florence marathon in late November, or Pisa in December - has anyone run these before? There is also Malaga in December.

Great suggestion! I have run Valencia a few times, and it's a great course for a PB. However, it sells out very quickly!

Something completely different: I haven't participated in it but heard good things about the Spijkenisse Marathon, a little sibling of the Amsterdam and Rotterdam marathons. It's flat but it can be quite windy I think. https://www.spijkenissemarathon.nl/

Most importantly: it hasn't sold out yet.
