Running group coaching in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets

Keep evidence that answers a real operating question

For running group coaching, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:

Keep attendance, route conditions, turnaround observations, pace feedback and incidents, using actual group movement to revise supervision and next-session choices while keeping medical concerns with an appropriately qualified professional rather than improvising clinical advice afterward.

An order and acceptance record

Field	What to enter
Output and exclusions	Choose a supervised route and pace options for novice runners, checking road crossings, turnaround points and communication arrangements while referring medical questions beyond coaching competence rather than treating the group session as a health assessment.
Sale unit	runner-session
Acceptance check	Trial the route with appropriate ability groupings, checking that participants understand stop signals and regrouping points and that the slowest runner remains supported throughout the planned outing without pressure to match an unsuitable pace.
Missed-cost check	Include route reconnaissance, coach coverage, communication, attendance administration and agreed support, recognising that a widely spread group can need a different supervision arrangement from the simple out-and-back run originally pictured when setting a session price.
Failure to investigate	A running group becomes unsuitable when enthusiastic pacing separates beginners, a missed turnaround leaves someone unsupported or participants believe encouragement to continue overrides their own discomfort and the stopping options explained before the supervised session began.

Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.

A supplier and cost record

For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.

A weekly review

Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.

These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.

Was the input fit for use?	Check emergency response and cover.
Was the work acceptable?	No attendance equated to fitness improvement.
