So I have gotten two guys at work to start running with me.

the first one has run sporadically with me about a month. He does biking but hasn't been running before this. We run at lunchtime (just before noon or so) Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. I have him up to over twenty minutes per run.

We did one 30 minute run, but still cannot run the full time. My plan is to stay at this time (20-25 minutes) until we can run the full time without walking breaks. We did try some intervals this Wednesday, but only a few laps to get the idea. This guy
can go at a decent pace, but not long, yet.

The second guy doesn't want to run at lunch and so we run together Tuesday and Thursday afternoons about 4pm. He is a complete beginner so we are still just at the 10 minute run/walk stage. One problem I have with him is that he runs too fast, so gets
winded quickly. I need a way to slow him down, so I tried to keep him talking. It didn't totally help, but we'll work through it.


needless to say this is helping to motivate me. With occasional interference from work, I haven't had to run 5 days straight, but since two are very easy (10 minutes), I think I could still handle it.

The extra runs are helping me get to stretch more, which I think is one area that will really pay benefits.

So today was a good day. Spent more time stretching (15 minutes) than running (10). If I ever get my ham string muscles loose again, I think I will get a good bit of speed back.

Enjoy the run.

Well done on the coaching. Amazing how hard it is to persuade some new
runners to SLOW DOWN!

I was exactly the same when I started of course. I would shoot out my front door, run Hell for leather for the first 400 yards or so and then have to
stop gasping. Getting new runners to run at "conversation pace" is
definitely the way forward when starting.

Hello guys,

I am very glad to hear that you guys are very much interested in running. Running is one of the finest exercises anyone can easily afford to become healthy and fit but being consistent with your daily run comes as an obstacle as most people lack
motivation. But here i know this amazing idea called Fimo, it is an android app. This app pays you to walk/jog/run and become fit. Its like you run everyday to become healthy by instantly becoming wealthy. Interesting right? You can download the app from

We had a very good run today. I got Mark to take it easy at the start and we were able to have negative splits. He only walked once.

Still slow, but getting better!

Enjoy the run!

Great job.
