NOMINATED RUNNING AUTHORS AND RELATED POST

@runit: "Excellent loading running workout done! – My running log - #Runforsteem challenge"

^{Post about speed training. Running pace 4.15 per km on 6 km run is not a joke - well done! We also like how @runit combined the facts about the run with mental part of running (our head can be really annoying in persuading us against our set goals...). Last but not least: the post is bilingual (English & Polish).}

@lordcarlo297: ''Challenge Completed - 300 Day's Of Pure Madness(Day 68)''

^{Well here is a post about a very enthusiastic running week: 5 races in just 1 week time and a personal best on 10 km! Congratulations! Not to mention that one of the runs was also the first anniversary of @lordarlo297's running. Good for you and we are amazed by all the achieved!}

@run.vince.run: ''Christchurch Marathon Race Review''

^{And we have another full marathon report - @runvincerun, congratulations for this achievement! As he writes: "The Christchurch Marathon is my fourth race in three months and the third marathon in my "4 Marathons in 4 Months for my 40th Birthday",,," Wow - what an initiative: 4 marathons in 4 months!!! The post is really worth reading with all the relevant info from the race. We can conclude with CONGRATULATIONS - well done!}

@eulenews: ''#runforsteem training with the running community at Laacher See [EN / DE]''

^{What a nice description of advantages and joy of running in the group. The post is about the weekly running training of running community "LG Laacher See". Open also for non-members and as @eulenews describes: "No one has to run alone and there are always enough experienced runners beside the trainers to answer questions and give support." This post is another proof how versitile sport is running and can be done on so many different ways. Huray for group running!}

REMINDER ON HOW THE CONTEST WORKS:

Readers of the post will vote which is the Running Author of the week, who will be awarded with the part of the earnings of the same report.

• The main criteria we use in order to nominate the candidates is the Quality and Originality of the Post, but nevertheless we will try to choose also posts done by Approved Runners which visibility is low due to, either, they are newcomers to the STEEM ecosystem and to the @runningproject initiative or, also authors that have not been nominated before or have been nominated, but we feel, they should be nominated again!

• The ''Running Authors'' will be awarded with a portion of the 50% of the SBD earned on this post approximately after one week of its publication, so all of them will be rewarded but just one will be the ''Author of the week''.

• The prize will be split as follows:

      ''Author of the week'': 70% 
      ''Consolation Prize'': 30% divided among the other authors.
  

A dedicated post will be published by @runningproject announcing the winner on following Saturday.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner of @runningproject?

The main milestone of the @runningproject now is to get as much STEEMPOWER as possible so the UPVOTE power will be growing day by day with the entrance of new members as well as because of the reinvestment of all the curation and the majority of the earnings produced on the post published by @runningproject.

In order to get enrolled you just need to do the following steps:

1. Write a comment in this post or any other from @runningproject with a link to one of your posts about running, requesting its review.

2. After checking your post, @runningproject will decide if you are or are not an "Approved" Runner. "Low quality" post will not be considered.

3. If you are definitely an "Approved" Runner, @runningproject will reply to you asking to send 1SBD or 1STEEM as an "Enrollment Fee."

4. You will be included in the "CURATION LIST"

The initial "Enrollment Fee" is entirely used as STEEM POWER. This fee, 1 SDB/STEEM, may increase in the future depending on the number of members and Market price.
Additional donations will be also fully invested in STEEM POWER.
