How did you come to know about me? *
(internet search, If a friend introduced you - please name them, podcast, etc)
Anything else you want to tell me *
(You may call me "Pinky" too ;) But seriously, it will help me understand why you want to do this. A brief introduction to yourself is also useful. Do you smoke, etc? Some people come to me, saying "I don't care what happens in the race. But I want to be fitter 12 weeks from the day I start training. "I am running this race for my dad, etc". As  you will appreciate, motivation is incredibly important to your training. If you share your goals with me, I will try my very best to help you get there. It is not much fun to discover that you start training for 4 weeks and then find out you were waiting to hear from a recruiter who you met after you started training. If I know that you have some prior commitments and some constraints, it helps plan training better
