Cat - you can do what you like in the privacy of your own home.

Hi all,

just a little note to say that the Pesterers should receive their targets at about 1.30 tonight - but please bear with me if there are a few hiccups.

We have about 80 lazybones, and 60 pesterers, so 20 pesterers will have two lazybones - it's all done randomly, and the allocation changes every day.

A few people have asked whether you can be both a pesterer and a lazybones. Yes - just join both groups. Hopefully my code is smart enough not to invite you to pester yourself.

Thanks,
Fetch

Oh, and if you join the group after 1.30am, you won't get paired up until the following night. See?

Post your experiences on this thread - fingers crossed it will work out ok :-)

I'm planning a 6-8 miler tomorrow evening after my first day back at work...as long as I get home before it gets dark, and as long as I'm not too tired, or have too much work to do.....See, the excuses are building already :-0

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."
