> Marathons and challenges add group dynamics to a personal programme: a shared goal, a community and leaderboards. They keep clients engaged longer and let specialists raise engagement without micromanaging every step.

## Why group dynamics help

Personal motivation is unstable: it peaks in the first days and drops once novelty fades. Peer
support makes it easier to stay on the programme, especially over long distances.

## What marathons give

- Longer client retention in the programme.
- Motivation through community, leaderboards and a shared goal.
- Higher engagement without manual control of every step.

## FAQ

### Is participation mandatory?

No. It is an additional motivation tool; the personal programme works without it.
