It's a success for me already as the thought of having to
explain myself to a pesterer made me get up and run to work as planned rather than the more attractive option of an extra half hours sleep :)

ogee - I expect your pesterer is just giving you a chance. After all, you have got till midnight to get out there and run of your own accord ;-)

ogee - sorry to hear that - but you should get a different pesterer tomorrow.

Glad it's going well for all :-)

If you get Snapstinget as your target for the day does that make him a Danish Pesteree?

Maybe we had the same pesterer Dawn, I think they should be moved into the lazybones group.

I'm in the other camp Ogee - one of my pesteree's is ignoring me thus far. The other one, on the other hand, appears to have decided to fit in a session today as a resut of he gentle pestering I administered so i'm 50/50 on the day so far.

A side benefit though is that, due to feelings of solidarity with my pesteree, i've just been out for an hour and done just over 7.5 miles I wasn't really planning on :-)

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."
