A lot of people don't always have easy Internet access so they might only be able to talk to you/ run this evening. I know I've only just been able to get on here myself.

I am thinking of joining pesterer group but I work shifts so come on here at different times of days

Thanks to my pesterer I have just done 4miles that I would probably have talked myself out of but again it was the thought of having to explain myself that forced me out the door!!!

I fmailed messages of encouragement to both of my pesterees earlier today, one has indeed completed their training run :) I am yet to hear from the other one.

Different pesterer every day is good so you shouldn't get consecutive carp ones! In theory.

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."
