Just a little experiment  Like it? Hate it? Meh? "Let's see if this works. There are two groups - the Pesterers and the Lazybones. If you need a bit of encouragement to get out for your run each day, join the Lazybones group. If you think you can shake the apathy out of someone, join the Pesterers group. Every day, each Lazybones will be assigned one or more Pesterers (depending on how the numbers work out) at random, and the rest is up to you. As a Pesterer, you'll get an fmail each day telling you who to pester / encourage / help. Do your research on their user profile to see the sort of running they're doing. Fmail your Lazybones, or follow them round the website - keep at them, until they've either got their run done, or given you a good reason why not. Be nice though, it's not a license to act like a total git, and you might find that you can really help someone improve their running. As a Lazybones, you accept that you are likely to be pestered. But you might also find help and support from a fellow runner. You accept that the advice you receive is personal opinion, and agree not to sue anybody if you knacker yourself. If you don't like being pestered, leave the group. Oh, and go for a run, lazy bones."

Its fantastic, I love it! I really want to be in the pesterer group but I think I may have something to gain by being pestered for a while. ;-p

I utterly love this idea. Not sure which group I'd go in, if either, but i absolutely love it. Big grin here.

Can we join both groups? I can dish out the advice and encouragement but I'm usually doing it from the comfort of the sofa.

oh lord, this could be very funny. can we just watch from the sidelines and cast bets about how long it is until someone takes offence/flounces/swears/cries? (I do think it is a great idea! there have been times where a pesterer would have been really helpful for me!:-)) |

Let's see if this works. There are two groups - the Pesterers and the Lazybones. If you need a bit of encouragement to get out for your run each day, join the Lazybones group.

Every day, each Lazybones will be assigned one or more Pesterers (depending on how the numbers work out) at random, and the rest is up to you.
As a Pesterer, you'll get an fmail each day telling you who to pester / encourage / help. Do your research on their user profile to see the sort of running they're doing. Fmail your Lazybones, or follow them round the website - keep at them, until they've either got their run done, or given you a good reason why not.
