Fine
I'll do it starting tomorrow. wish me luck, seems like I'm not spending my summer vacation on sitting and getting fat this time
And to top it off, during this time I will not eat any candy, crisps or other unhealthy snacks, I will still drink coke etc. because I'm not that strong

great idea wilco the more people that can be encouraged to do a little exercise the better place this world will be , as someone who works in the fitness industry cardio plays a very important role in my training programme where i run 8 miles 3 times a week along side a my weight training and interval training. Along with the health benefits of exercise the mental boost cardio gives you is amazing and i encourage everyone to get outside as much as they can even if its just walking for an hour every day and i for one will be following this thread closely

Alright, fine I accept.
I am severely out of shape, (not comfortable posting a picture now #whatisselfconfidence?) but I will try my best and walk/run those outlined days.
Also, I will put myself into Lemmen's category, I will not eat sweets, crisps etc.. like I used to. One day a week maybe (not excessively, something to look towards) and I will hopefully stay off the fanta #bestfizzydrink.
Bye.
Probably for good, i'll die doing this xD

Just completed my first one too. Pace was all over the place, but I'll get there xD
I noticed it can also record cycling, so will start recording that too.

nothing wrong with having one day a week where you have a treat or 2, i do it every saturday. After a week of hard training and strict dieting your leptin levels crash through the floor so that cheat meal re-stores those levels, imagine a furnace with no wood in, it wont burn , same with your body without leptin lol, so put some wood back in the furnace and get it burning again ?
Strava AppWhat are you guys using to measure your running i run every other day, and i have never had anything that measures anything like that, i roughly do 3-4 miles a morning

This one's cycling rather than running, and only quick bursts but it's still progress. 3 rides over last night and this morning to and back from work (yes, 3 rides... forgot to record one)
Noticed only 3 of us have actually started with the running in Strava, I urge everybody to get involved... 25 minutes a couple of times a week isn't much

So I am a little delayed due to being a bit busy yesterday, However I am a man of my word and I am doing this with everyone!, If you don't mind I will run a day behind schedule and thrive off your progress
Day one Disclaimer this is good for me! I am older and alot less active than most )
Thoughts from my first run
1. Well done!
2. Too hot at this time, Must do this in the morning for the next run (Saturday)
3. Must get some new trainers and trainer socks (Cannot afford right now so might need to double up socks)
Well done everyone, I am glad to see more people than I first thought get involved with this!

Wilco, a good set of trainers is a must, also there is 3 options to stop blisters doubling up socks will cause more blisters not less,
Well done everyone, I am glad to see more people than I first thought get involved with this!
1. put your feet through a course of white spirit, this turns the skin very hard (not advisable for starting off)
2. tape up the usual spots you have blisters, make sure there is no creases in the tape it needs to be smooth
3. probably the best option, get 1000 mile socks, they are actually shaped to the feet, so yes you can put your socks on the wrong foot.

Well, haven't had time to run today, so I will try to do tomorrow and sunday. I will still be cycling, but that's not part of the challenge so will still do those two days.
