I believe a training partner or group will add about 5% to your performance. Why?, because the animal instinct of "outdoing each other" will come through in your training. A running partner helps you out a lot with your marathon training. He/she makes your sessions a little easy, fun, and at a slightly higher intensity. Big question is if your training partner get's injured what do you do?. The mishap does not mean giving up your training or the big event itself. Know how to deal with a missing running buddy, and how to cope up with your training by yourself. Give yourself a chance to continue without having to place your success on the absence or presence of someone, no matter how helpful he is.
