Good evening all.

I'm new to this forum but would welcome your support. I've been shortlisted down to the final 4 to win a place in the Paris marathon to attempt to run it in under 3 hours. Along the way I'd get support from the Asics team. This would be an amazing opportunity to me and something that I should be realistically able to achieve having run 03:04 in London this year.

If you click on the link you can read more about me on my profile. Voting will only take 5 seconds and there is no need to give any details or sign up for anything. You can even vote every day if you're keen. The competition closes on Wednesday lunchtime.

I'm a type 1.5 diabetic, and was diagnosed with diabetes 12 years ago at the age of 24. I've got into running in the last 3 years, and have really benefitted from it helping me loose weight and keep fit. I'd be happy to answer any and all questions you may have about me, my running or the comptetition.

Thanks in advance.

Pete
 
Thanks all. I'm looking forward to being part of this forum. I can't believe I never realised what a wealth of knowledge there is here that I've been missing out on.
 
Welcome Peter to the forum,I also voted so wishing you lots of luck.
 
Hi, welcome to the forum and well done for getting through to the final vote.
I think it's really impressive that two of the four have T1
As a very slow runner I can't imagine being able to get round in less than 5 hours let alone 3!
