Week 2 (8th Sept)

Options
Hello everyone. It is good to see that so many of you are getting involved in the first week’s challenge. The challenge for the second week is as follows.
Each of you will have a travelling exercise which you feel most comfortable with. This may be walking, cycling, running, etc. For this challenge, you must choose your preferred exercise, and set yourself a target distance which you wish to achieve during the week. The idea is to push yourself more than normal.
Each day you should post on the spreadsheet the distance you have done, and hopefully by the end of the week you will have reached your target. For this to work well you should set a target which is challenging but reachable.
You will again be awarded a score out of ten for your efforts, with 10 being achieving or exceeding your target and 0 being doing none at all. Once more, there will be an average team score which we should try to maximise.
Best of luck everybody.

    I am excited about this one - I have been doing 30 day shred and will be moving onto level 3 this week, but I have neglected my running so I am looking forward to seeing if I can do some double workout sessions and up that burn! :happy:

    I added 2 miles to my usual distance. I can run 15 miles in one week. Pushing to do 17 for the challenge.

    Oh, great challenge! I just got a bike (I've literally rode it once so far) so I will have to think about how many miles I can get with that and running! Guess this will force the issue for me to go buy a helmet too, safety is important and part of the reason why I haven't really used my bike much yet.

    I love this idea. All your challenges are so inspiring and smart the way you are planning them. I like the idea of the intro to water and now push that cardio!!! The next day after the 2nd challenge is our weigh in :) Thanks for doing this.

    How can I measure distance? D:

    If you are walking, you can use Google maps to find distance from one location to another.

    You can also use mapmyride ... it's a fun way to map out your ride, walk or run and it will give you the distance. It's free. ; )

    Mine is set... I chose walking and set a goal of 30km in the week. Most of my walks are about 5km but I have space for a couple of long ones. I need to be able to do about 15km a day for 4 days in a row by mid-October anyway!!!

    Won't have much time for swimming next week, with fencing as well, but I get at least one swim in and I will soon be ditching gym for the sea anyway!!!

    Can general daily steps be counted? I use a pedometer and also do 3 spin sessions a week, 2 yoga and one step?!
    Not sure if I could fit in another session, I might keel over :)
