I had to start with couch to 5K years about being in good enough shape to run half marathons. Initially I was annoyed but it’s cool to see yourself progress through the stages and remember that you are a runner. Good luck!

I start by setting little goals for myself (e.g., workout 3x during the week) and then build on that. A short run is always better than no run

I also like to sign up for a race like a 5k so I have something to motivate me to train

Second that! I signed up for a medley (5,10,Half) which are spread out throughout the year to help motivate me and serve as progress points

And then remember the first one or two runs are horrendous, but you’ll start to enjoy it after that. Also if you have to do treadmill running instead of outdoors - I MUCH prefer a Nike guided run with variable speeds (it’s in the Nike running app) than just pounding treadmill flat out for 30 mins

Hi Fishes,

I have offer from Apisero and recently also got higher offer from other company. Will Apisero match the offer I am having from other company? And if I ask to negotiate based on counter offer would Apisero decline the offer I already have in hand?

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!

Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?
