WHAT IF YOU COULD GET IN AT THE BEGINNING OF A FITNESS MOVEMENT?
GET CERTIFIED.
BUILD A LOCAL COMMUNITY.
HELP PEOPLE WHO NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD JOG.
AND HAVE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FUN DOING IT?Â
You don’t need to be a runner.
You don’t need to be a personal trainer.Â
You don’t need to be fast.
You don’t need to have completed a marathon.Â
In fact…Â
YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BE ABLE TO JOG FOR 30 MINUTES YET.Â
We’ll teach you. And then we’ll teach you how to help other people do it too.   Â
INTRODUCING
THE OUTSIDERS SLOW JOGGING CERTIFICATION
Learn the method. Experience it yourself.
Complete a live one-day training.
Become certified.
Then create your own local Slow Jogging chapter and begin helping others discover a completely different way to move.Â
RUNNING HAS A MARKETING PROBLEM.
Ask someone who doesn’t run why they don’t run.
You’ll hear things like:
“I’m too slow.”
“I hate running.”
“I get out of breath.”
“My knees can’t handle running.”
“I can’t keep up.”
“I’m not built like a runner.”
“I’ve never been athletic.”
Or simply:
“I’M NOT A RUNNER.”
But here’s an interesting question.
What if the problem isn’t necessarily running?
What if it’s the way most people were introduced to it?
THINK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE ARE USUALLY TAUGHT TO RUN.
Go faster.
Go farther.
Try harder.
Keep up.
Push yourself.
Beat your time.
Don’t walk.
Finish strong.
And if you’re the person struggling at the back?
It doesn’t take very long before you decide:
“THIS ISN’T FOR ME.”
BUT THERE’S ANOTHER WAY.
Imagine jogging so slowly that you can:
Smile.
Have a conversation.
Stay relaxed.
Move alongside people with different fitness levels.
Walk when appropriate.
And gradually build your capacity without making every session a test of willpower.
That’s the idea behind:
SLOW JOGGING.
AND YES
IT CAN FEEL ALMOST RIDICULOUSLY SLOW.
That’s part of what makes it so interesting.
The objective isn’t to prove how fast you are.
It’s to learn how to move easily enough that you want to: KEEP GOING.
NOW IMAGINE SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER.
Imagine learning Slow Jogging yourself…
Then helping someone else learn it.
Then another.
Then five people.
Then twenty.
Imagine meeting Saturday morning at a local park.
People arrive who haven’t jogged in years.
Some have never considered themselves runners.
Some are already fit but want another way to train.
Some simply want:
Movement.
Fresh air.
Conversation.
Community.
And something enjoyable to do together.
Nobody cares who finishes first.
Nobody gets dropped.
And afterward…
People grab coffee.
Make friends.
Network.
Laugh.
And make plans for next week.
THAT’S WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD.
WE’RE NOT JUST LAUNCHING ANOTHER FITNESS CERTIFICATION.
We’re building leaders who can help create:
LOCAL SLOW JOGGING COMMUNITIES.
And we’re looking for people who want to help us begin.
INTRODUCING
THE OUTSIDERS SLOW JOGGING CERTIFICATION
This is a complete education, practice and leadership experience designed to take you from:
“I’M CURIOUS ABOUT SLOW JOGGING.”
to:
“I UNDERSTAND THIS.”
then:
“I CAN DO THIS.”
and finally:
“I CAN HELP OTHER PEOPLE DO THIS.”
AND YOU CAN START FROM ZERO.
You do NOT need to currently run.
You do NOT need to currently Slow Jog.
You do NOT need to be able to jog continuously for 30 minutes.
You do NOT need previous coaching experience.
You do NOT need a fitness certification.
You do NOT need to look like a runner.
You simply need:
Curiosity.
A willingness to learn.
A willingness to practice.
And:
A DESIRE TO HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OTHER PEOPLE.
“OKAY… BUT WHAT EXACTLY AM I GOING TO LEARN?”
A lot.
We designed the curriculum to take you from someone who may know almost nothing about Slow Jogging to someone who understands:
The philosophy.
The science.
The method.
The movement.
The progression.
The experience.
The leadership principles.
And how all of those pieces fit together.
Here’s what we’ll explore…
PART I — DISCOVER SLOW JOGGING
PART II — UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR BODY IS ACTUALLY DOING
PART III — LEARN THE MOVEMENT
PART IV — LEARN THE LANGUAGE
PART V — LEARN HOW TO START
PART VI — BUILD YOUR OWN CAPACITY
PART VII — UNDERSTAND PROGRESSION
PART VIII — TRAINING LOAD & RECOVERY
PART IX — WHERE SLOW JOGGING FITS
PART X — WORKING WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE
PART XI — CREATE THE EXPERIENCE
PART XII — LEARN TO LEAD
THEN YOU EARN THE CERTIFICATION.Â
Successfully complete the education, practical requirements and live training…
And you’ll become an:
OUTSIDERS CERTIFIED SLOW JOGGING LEADER.
But that’s where this becomes different from most certifications.
Because we don’t want your certificate to:
SIT IN A DRAWER. WE WANT YOU TO USE IT.
CREATE YOUR OWN SLOW JOGGING CHAPTER.
After certification, qualified leaders can create a local chapter within the Outsiders Slow Jogging chapter framework.
Imagine:
Slow Jogging — San Jose
Slow Jogging — Austin
Slow Jogging — Denver
Slow Jogging — Chicago
Slow Jogging — Nashville
Slow Jogging — Your Town
You become someone who helps bring people together around:
Movement.
Conversation.
Consistency.
Community.
And:
FUN.
AND YOUR CHAPTER IS FREE FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND.
That’s intentional.
We want to make it easy for someone to say:
“SURE. I’LL TRY IT.”
No expensive membership required just to meet the group.
No intimidating barrier to entry.
Come out.
Meet people.
Move.
Slow Jog.
Have fun.
THE JOG MAY BE WHAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THE RELATIONSHIPS MAY BE WHAT KEEPS THEM COMING BACK.
MOVE. CONNECT. BELONG.
OR MAYBE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SELL.
Great.
Then don’t.
Create a chapter because:
You want new friends.
You want accountability.
You want something healthy to do Saturday morning.
You want to get outside.
You want to help people.
You want to build community.
You want to laugh.
You want an excuse to grab coffee afterward.
Or:
IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
That’s enough.
YOU COULD SPEND $199 ON ANOTHER PAIR OF SHOES.
You could spend it on:
A few dinners.
A weekend of entertainment.
Another gadget.
Or another course you never finish.
Or:
You could invest $199 in becoming someone who can:
Learn something new.
Improve their own fitness.
Develop a new skill.
Earn a certification.
Meet new people.
Build community.
Create a local chapter.
Expand their professional network.
Potentially introduce people to their existing business.
And:
HELP SOMEONE WHO THINKS THEY CAN’T JOG DISCOVER THAT MAYBE THEY CAN.
THAT’S A PRETTY INTERESTING $199
HERE’S THE BIGGER IDEA.
The fitness industry is very good at serving:
People who already love fitness.
People who already run.
People who already train.
People who already identify as athletes.
But there is an enormous group standing outside that world saying:
“THAT’S NOT FOR ME.”
Those are some of the people we want to reach.
The person who comes to your meetup and says:
“I haven’t exercised in years.”
The person who says:
“I could never run.”
The person embarrassed about being last.
The person worried everyone will leave them behind.
The person who has always believed:
“I am just not athletic.”
Imagine being the leader who gets to say:
“YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP UP.”
“WE’RE NOT RACING.”
“WALK WHEN YOU NEED TO.”
“WE’LL BUILD FROM HERE.”
And most importantly:
“NO ONE GETS DROPPED.”
THAT CAN CHANGE SOMEONE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH MOVEMENT.Â
And sometimes:Â
That changes much more.Â
YOUR JOURNEY STARTS AS A STUDENT.
You learn.
You practice.
You build.
You attend the live training.
You demonstrate what you’ve learned.
Then:
YOU BECOME THE LEADER.
And somewhere down the road…
Someone who joined your chapter as a nervous beginner may decide:
They want to help people too.
Maybe they become certified.
Maybe they start another chapter.
Maybe they introduce another hundred people to the method.
That’s how communities grow.
ONE PERSON HELPS THE NEXT.
WE’RE AT THE BEGINNING.
And beginnings are interesting.
Because someday, when this becomes what we believe it can become…
There will be people who say:
“I wish I had gotten involved earlier.”
Right now:
YOU CAN.
