Gladys says "Is ther ea downside for the team for someone signng up and then pulling out? I want to get back to running but haven't run for about 6 weeks as I had some achilles pain.

Happy to sign up to 3 runs a week in Jan but if it starts to hurt again I won't continue."

I'm new to this, but I think it would harm the teams performance Gladys. From what I understand, it is all to do with consistency, so, if you say you will do the 3 runs a week, and then you pull out, then it would be a mark against the team. But then, I think we only need about 90 % of the team to complete their goals each week to get top marks, so at 15 members, we could have 1 member fail their commitment for each week.

I'd just like to add, that it is only for fun, so if everyone else is ok, I'd say go for it. A "run" only has to be over 1 mile to count, and who is to say that your able running pace in the future month might be reduced to "walking" space

Staffers says "Oooh I joined yesterday under the tri club team.....hadn't been on here to see this thread. Can I join two teams "

I think I read somewhere on the site that its only 1 team allowed per person, unless you have 2 online personalities

You can transfer from/to a Team by the end of the 1st week, after that you're stuck

Having been rivalled by Mr Zuvai, I hope we get a team big enough to be in the same (large teams) league.

Yeah, something to do with the face to face verbal abuse she'll receive if she moves

Gazmanmeister

I think when we see her later in the year there'll be some drinking abuse given

I'm afraid I am sticking with my tri club as I can take the verbal abuse from you lot more than the face to face possibly physical abuse from the club

Not even sure what I am doing with that rival button but I'm aving a go
