Was it OK to pester suggesting that today was a rest/ cross training day?

IMHO yes. One of mine had done a long run yesterday so I said I wouldn't be surprised to be told today was a planned rest day

Just done the equivalent of a pestering warm up with a polite enquiry as to today's plan.

Guess this is the purpose your monicker has been waiting all this time to find PM...

I'm a pesteree. I was mildly panicked to start off with ("I think we need a chat") - but as I read through the pester I realised it was a virtual size 10 up the posterior, and it helped me make the right decision when considering running with club or taking my team out for a drink.

I was very polite in my pestering. Let's see how long that lasts!

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."
