@CarlyCooks @LondonMarathon Not hard to understand: more than 350,000 entries in the ballot, (far)fewer than 35,000 places, chance less than one in ten. I’ve entered more than 10 times without success - it’s frustrating but it is just statistics.
@Strickomaster And there’s the rub: the science can’t yet measure the ‘teacher factor’. Unless the end of the conversation was ‘we just love the way you focus on the knowledge and reinforce our learning with interleaved practice’?!
