Revbarbarag Sep 2013 7:09pm, 10 Sep 2013 528 posts	0 Revbarbarag Peer support is a long-established way of increasing your chances of succeeding at a challenge. So if you're signed up for your first marathon next Spring, how about sharing training plans and experiences? We can get plenty of info and support about how to do this from those who've done it before - but only a fellow sufferer will hold tour hand when the chafing starts to get to you.... I've got a place for London next year - what are you doing?

Dooogs Sep 2013 2:30pm, 11 Sep 2013 2,897 posts	0 Dooogs The ballot places aren't announced for a month or so yet - there'll be a lot more activity come October, I'd imagine. Not sure how many others have got a charity spot already...
Revbarbarag Sep 2013 2:40pm, 11 Sep 2013 542 posts	0 Revbarbarag Ah, good point. I'll come back in a month or so. Although, of course, there are other marathons....
Dooogs Sep 2013 2:42pm, 11 Sep 2013 2,899 posts	0 Dooogs That's a point - I'd assumed that it was a VLM-specific thread, which is isn't. It could be that some people are waiting to finish their autumn races before committing to 2014 plans?! (clutching at straws here )
HermanBloom Sep 2013 2:44pm, 11 Sep 2013 3,777 posts	0 HermanBloom I'm running London, on a deferred place from this year. That's about all I have to report thus far
Revbarbarag Sep 2013 2:56pm, 11 Sep 2013 543 posts	0 Revbarbarag Welcome on board! Can I add you to the header?

Oysterboy Sep 2013 5:45pm, 11 Sep 2013 7,968 posts	0 Oysterboy Rev regarding your poll, people will vote in every single poll even if it doesn't apply to them and just pick a random answer because they can't stand the red crosses. If you want more accurate results I'd include a n/a option.
Revbarbarag Sep 2013 10:01pm, 11 Sep 2013 549 posts	0 Revbarbarag Ah - I realised after I'd set it up that I can't actually vote myself, because I've never completed a marathon....
