We received a recent request for a Ph.D. student who is studying first time marathon runners. If you’ve completed your first marathon within the past year and want to help her out with her research, check out her survey below.
Have you completed your first marathon within the past year? If yes, tell me about your experience!
I am an Exercise and Sport Psychology Ph.D. student at Temple University, in Philadelphia, and also a marathon runner. For my dissertation, I have decided to look at first time marathon runners (newbies), their motivations for completing a marathon, and their intent to run another marathon. If you have completed your first marathon within the past year, I would love to hear about your marathon experience! Listed below is the link for the online survey. The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete.

If you know of any other first time marathon runners, who ran their debut marathon within the past year, please pass along the survey information.
In advance, thank you for your insight and happy running!
