jogging with your boyfriend?
So me and my boyfriend decided that we wanted to start jogging together after school, my question is how should I go about this? I am much faster than him and we went jogging once already, I had to slow down so he wouldn't be miles behind me but I still jogged in front of him. I don't know how I should really approach this, should I jog beside him or should I jog ahead of him and motivate him to work harder by being ahead (we are extremely competitive with each other, in a good but funny way)... I don't know, so what should I do?

If his fitness and speed aren't as good as yours yet, he's not going to like you pushing him into running harder than he is able to, and he will most likely get resentful and not want to run with you anymore. Remember how you were before you started running? You wouldn't have liked someone making you run faster when you weren't ready. If you are getting bored you could do some sprints, i.e. sprint ahead and then walk till he catches up. You wouldn't exactly be running together, but at least you would get a decent workout while he comes up to fitness. I'm sure he understands that you're at a higher level and need to get a bit more out of the session. If you are competitive in a good, funny way, challenge him to a race where he jogs and you power-walk? But make it fun for him. No pressure!
