Hello my Fellow Steemian Runners!!!
As you can imagine, during the last 10 days, we have implemented a new tool, which is feeding our SP, thanks to the delegation that some of our members have provided to the tool itself, @isotonic .
This account is actually a Bid-Based Voting Bot programmed and installed on a Laptop, running some days there and, after contacting and presenting the project to @yabapmatt who decided to help the initiative altruistically , it is now strongly supported by the Steem Bot Tracker computer and server.
As you may noticed, when I report about the evolution of either, @runningproject or @isotonic I am always using the word WE, thus in plural, as I see @runningproject more as a sort of community on which any member can actively work than the result of an individual effort.
Actually, some of you have already expressed your will to help and collaborate with @runningproject and, frankly, I would really appreciate some support here.
So now that we have solved the "Funding" point I think is the proper time to do a ...
...CALL FOR A "RUNNER WITNESS"
Yes! We are looking for an "Approved" Runner, willing to collaborate with @runningproject in an active way according to the following points:
The selected ''Runner Witness'' is going to be a Posting ''Deputy'' of @runningproject , so he/she will login at @runningproject with the Private Posting Key
The "duties" of the selected ''Runner Witness'' are:
1. To Manually Resteem those ''Running Posts'' created by the ''Approved" Runners appearing while browsing @runningproject 's FEED
2. To weekly choose 4 outstanding ''Running Authors'' and respective Running posts of the term (Only posts published within the 7days)
3. To weekly write and publish 2 posts working on behalf of @runningproject as the following ones:
Vote your Running Author of the Week [The Steem Running Project] => to be published at the beginning of the term (7days duration)
RUNNER OF THE WEEK [The Steem Running Project] to be published at the end of the term (7 days duration)The ''Runner Witness'' will use the Posting Credentials of @runningproject only for posting, comment and resteem and not for voting.
The "template" used on both posts will be transferred by @runningproject as a basis to create the new posts.
IMPORTANT: The "Runner Witness'' will be rewarded for his/her work with the 50% of the SBD earned by those posts so, as you know, on the first post, the obtained SBD are fully going to award the selected Running Authors and winner, so, the remaining 50% will go directly to the ''Runner Witness'' Account. On the 2nd post, 50% of the earned SBD will feed mainly @runningproject SP and the other 50% will go to the "Runner Witness'' account.
''Approved'' Runners interested on becoming ''Runner Witness'' have to write a comment at this post, explaining his/her willingness to be so.
So, hope it is sufficiently clear. If it is not let us know at comments.
4th Status Report: How the things are going till now?
Every day more and more steemit runners are interested on the initiative, but we need your HELP, please PROMOTE the initiative for the sake of the community!!!
We have enrolled 29 ''Approved'' Runners that are already getting benefits from the @runningproject ''curation'' list, obtaining additional upvotes, currently weighting between 0.03$ at 100%. Actually, the Upvote Value is superior but we have decided to upvote at 50%, i.e. between 0.01 and 0.02$, in order to maintain a ''healthy'' VOTING POWER.
But, maybe you have noticed something really good, YOU ARE GETTING UPVOTES FROM THE @runningproject NOT ONLY IN YOUR RUNNING POSTS BUT ALSO IN ALL OF YOUR POSTS.
Remember, @runningproject will vote you forever!
Additionally, @runningproject have resteemed your running posts increasing their visibility and so, giving even more chances for new upvotes.
Till now, we have checked a total of 34 runners from which 32 have already passed the ''Qualification'' Step. The remaining ones are still pending to send their ''Running'' post link to us in order to be qualified. COME ON!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?
Our STEEM POWER is increasing daily and currently we have reached 113 SP that means an increase of 30% in only 7 days :-).
Our ''RUNNER OF THE WEEK'' has been @shazza and currently we are voting the best Author at Vote your Running Author of the Week [The Steem Running Project] WK3 by @runningproject. The winning runner has received a substantial prize, but also the rest of selected runners have got a consolation prize as well. And the most important, the remaining earnings of the contest have been used mostly to increase the STEEM POWER of the @runningproject from which we are all benefited.

Hi, I'd like to join in the running fun! Here's a post I wrote today on my 10K in Madrid yesterday: https://steemit.com/running/@adambarratt/madmusings-9-running-ragged-carnival-in-the-campo
Hey!!! we left a message in your post!
He, thanks for pointing me into this direction. You've posted the article above after I went to sleep last night :)
When I've first seen the title I thought it is about one of the running community becoming a Steem witness. Now I see it is about a @runningproject witness duty.
Why not both? :)
OK, let's return to the topic at hand.
I would love to participate. I do have the same excuse as @cryptokeepr has. Too many projects and not enough time to do them all properly.
What if we somehow distribute this duty? To have more running witnesses working in weekly shifts?
That would be doable. Considering that there will be weeks of vacation, illness or any other circumstances which will prevent us from fulfilling our tasks.
OK, this was a long answer.
The short one is: yes, I am in. Let's make a team of running witnesses.
Hahaha! Yeah! You catch fully the message...I also have a lot of work and not always the time to work on @runningproject and that's why I thought about...
Let's see how this Call is going, if we have some runners interested we may talk about weekly or longer period shifts...
Thanks for the comment!
The proposal for a "runner witness" sounds pretty interesting. One name comes to mind if you're thinking about someone who is already a steemit witness and is a runner is @dragosroua. IDK if he'd be up for it and I don't want to put him on the spot but it's just a suggestion. He's pretty active in the community in general and he's an ultra runner.
It's nice to see this project getting more attention and growing. It's nice to be a part of it and I plan to post about my running more frequently in the near future...that's been something I've lacked doing lately.
On a separate note, I've added @runningproject to my autovoter so you should start seeing some votes from me consistently as my power has remained in the 90's despite having 27 authors selected for automatic votes. Hope it helps in the growth of this project.
Dear @cryptokeepr, I have already contacted him in few occasions and I will insist, he told me he was fully interested but did not go beyond... As I said, I will try again because he HAS TO BE INVOLVED HERE FOR SURE!! would you like to help me?
Cheers!!!
I would love to help if I had more time on my hands but at this point really what I can commit the most of is financial support in the form of upvotes and delegation. I wish I had more time to commit to the day to day operations of this project. Seems like time is harder for me to commit than money for me at this point in time...what a paradox.
Hey, @toofasteddie! I have been considering contacting you about helping. My response, however, is similar to the others. I don’t want tonivercommit and I expect my non-Steemit time commitments to increase soon so I wouldn’t want to do a subpar job as a witness. Plus, I’m developing the habit of posting daily and don’t want to take on something that would inhibit that.
I do want to help build his community! To that end, I read running posts and comment with quality comments to encourage and inspire fellow runners. I upvote with a higher percentage on running posts (especially on @runningproject and @isotonic posts). I make an effort to upvote and comment on minnow runners and tell them about @runningproject.
I challenge all of us in our running community to upvote and comment to welcome new runners into our community. I also challenge all of us to upvote and comment on each other’s posts. I know that we all have a life full of commitments that pull us in different directions. So how’s this:
Commit to posting quality comments on 3 running posts a day. You’ll get to read some fascinating and inspiring posts by people from all over the world. I learn more than I take in from this practice.
Hahhahha!!! That's the spirit @dlew ! Don't worry, I am happy if everybody do their best and you are also a Delegator already, this is important dude!!
Hey @runningproject, the post I used as my qualifying post was out of date so here's a fresh one that I just put up. I know I'm already on the approved list and I've already commented on this post but I wanted to do a running post today.
https://steemit.com/running/@cryptokeepr/my-struggle-to-train-for-my-upcoming-race-ends-today
In my post I also did a bit of promotion on behalf of @runningproject, @isotonic, and the people who've spent their precious time getting this thing started--@toofasteddie and @yabapmatt. Onwards and upwards!
Thanks man! Without people like you this initiative would be impossible to be created and keep maintained. FYI a recent new member @dragosroua is also delegating a big amount of SP to @isotonic :-)
You got a 16.78% upvote as a Recovery Shot from @isotonic, currently working as a funding tool, courtesy of @runningproject!
@isotonic is the Bid Bot of the @runningproject community.
Earnings obtained by this bot, after paying to the delegators, are fully used to increase the SP of the @runningproject from which all affiliated members are benefited.
Check @runningproject posts in order to know further about.

I belevee that Runningproject is a great initiative! I participate in it as much as I can and am willing to help the Runningproject also in future in any way I can!
Dear @dailyrunner ,
Would you like to try to be our first "Running Witness" ?
Do you think you can dedicate some time a day (maybe I guess 20' or so) to perform the duties I described?
Frankly, as I told you many times, you are really one of the most helping members of the initiative, promoting the project in each of your posts... Additionally, your writing style, content and message will be perfect to provide better quality to the couple of posts which have to published a week...
Don't be afraid, as @ervin-lemark wrote in his comment, fully supported by myself @toofasteddie, we could arrange a sort of Witnesses team, working in weekly , bi-weekly or monthly shifts...
Or perhaps the assigned Running Witness feels comfortable being so during longer periods of time...
I don't know, what do you think?
The task is simple I guess, and I will be fully available by steemit.chat (@toofasteddie) or Discord...
Please, let me know your thoughts
I will do my best to try and be first Running Witness! I've read the duties and I believe I will be able to cover it fine. Thank you - I feel honored and happy about it :) Let me know where you want to agree on next steps in general and for the following week.
Good!!!!
Look, let me finish this term, the current post was done only 3 days ago so, I will prepare everything for your start as soon as I publish the current winner...
Is it ok for you?
If you don't mind, what about using steemit.chat at least in the beginning... I will transfer the info you need using this channel and so I can assist you for anything you may need as well...
All sounds good. Steemit.chat, in the beginning, is perfect for transferring info. Looking forward to this collaboration and participation to the project!
Hi there. Here is a link to my first #runningproject post. I love this project and I hope you will accept me as an approved runner! Upvoted and resteemed this post.

I just want to throw my hat in as someone who would be willing to help out, and even be a witness. A little background. I have been a runner all my life (with a few breaks here and there). I ran competitive track in high school and college, mainly sprints, 400m and under. I got more serious again in my mid 30s and began doing marathons and triathlons, and everything under. At 39 I got into masters track and got myself back to a 55 second 400 (8th in US 40-45 when I was 43), and a 19:40 5k (not phenomal, but I am a sprinter at heart!) I have coached high school track for the last 8 years, am USATF level 1 certified and plan to do level 2 this summer. My wife is a cross country coach and I assist with her team. Finally, my wife and I started a youth track and field club last summer that had 110 kids and 25 volunteers in our first season — 100% volunteer and non-profit. So, as you can see, I’m pretty into running :). Let me know what I can do to help. Oh, almost forgot, I am also a former certified ChiRunning technique instructor and did that as a business for several years, so I consider myself quite informed about smart training and injury prevention, which might make for some good witness posts. Cheers!
Dear @cstrimel ,
your background is...well... I don't have words, it is "outstanding"
400m in 55"? Would you be interested on writing a weekly post about a proposal of Running Plan mainly 5K or 10K races preparation on behalf of @runningproject ?
If so, Could you please contact me by steemit.chat? I am @toofasteddie
I’m definitely interested. I have some earth-bound work to do this afternoon but will get in touch later this evening. Thanks!
I would love to be a part of the @runningproject community! I've started joining in @jumowa's #runforsteem and it has really gotten me excited for spring racing season. :) Here's my latest post: https://steemit.com/runforsteem/@plantstoplanks/run-for-steem-broke-into-double-digits
Hey bud, I'll do it. Do you want me to say why, I think I've talked about it enough in my blogs already, but I'll gladly do the job, even for free. Like I said, I want to help the community. Sorry for my late response, if you've seen my posts recently you can imagine I've been a bit occupied with other stuff.
Hey!
Thanks man! well, you know, currently we have @dailyrunner working as a Runner witness but we take note for future arrangements!
Ok, let me know when I can do something. I'm really bad in keeping track of posts, so please contact me.
