I'm more likely to get up if I see "Race if 5 days so run 10k now" indead of "Run 10k at 45min pace". If you miss one alarm though, that trust you have is broken and it's hard to earn it back. Always have a backup plan, a noisy child, cat or dog will do the trick...

All this before you get out of bed for your run. Unless, of course, the weather or the news are so bad you decide to go back to sleep. Better knowing than not knowing. Love the site, keep up the good work!
