I thought you would be allocated a pesterer so that they followed your progress like a mentor... but I do see that that might encourage the stalking :-O

And you might not like your pesterer so I guess the Lord Fetch way avoids any difficult conversations.

I think it's good if it keeps changing, because you get to know more people and their training habits. There's nothing to stop you staying in touch with someone who you enjoy talking to.

OMG. We are mostly lazyboneses. The pesterers are going to have to be extremely busy. :-)

In theory this is sheer brilliance, in practice it'll be interesting

I'll be dropping it into this weeks newsletter, so we'll hopefully have a strong contingent on both sides in time for kick off :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
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."
