JUNE 2015 MOVE CHALLENGE

I'm in, and new hoping for 3 miles a days so 90 miles by the end of the month

Right, sorted my targets for this month. I have a long term goal of doing a triathlon someday, but as I am neither a swimmer nor a runner (even less of a runner) I have a long way to go. I'm splitting my training into sections - and first up will be some strength training to get some muscle structure behind me, plus working on swimming technique.

Goals as follows:

Cycling - 60 miles
Walking - 40 miles (includes anything above 1 mile showing on my fitbit)
Swim - 120 laps
Stronglifts 5X5 - 6 times
Lindy Hop class - 4 times

Total mileage - 100 miles.

That's a lot of targets but the walking, dancing and cycling ones are the easiest for me to do.

Hurrah for June!!!

I'm in. Going to be traveling a bit but I will do my best to remember to log in.

Goal for month: 75 Miles

Me too, but I started working on running before swimming because I felt there would be a longer learning curve, for me, with running. (used to teach swim lessons ages ago, but never was able to run). Also, I don't live near a gym, so pools are less convenient; after some progress running, I'll use the momentum to pull me back into swimming.

thankfully I have a pool on the way home from work which I can use depending on their club schedule (I hate that community/leisure centre pools aren't available all the time). I want to work on my technique so I can swim several lengths at once as think that will be the longest learning curve for me. The run thing is something I can do in the gym or anywhere at anytime - I aim to move onto c25k for running practice once I've finished this segment of training plan. I suppose what I'm imagining is that once I'm in a triathlon, it's not the end of the world if I have to walk to the finish line!!!!

Kicked it off with C25K Week 5 Day 2: 2.7 miles

June Target Total: 2.7 miles
Walk/Run: 2.7 Target: 25 mi.
Cycling: 0.0 mi (Target: 200 mi)

I'll give it s whirl starting with walking 3 miles a day

I did 35 min on the treadmill and 18:48 on the elliptical last night. aiming for 1.5 hours at the gym tonight (it's raining so it will fit my schedule)

You all inspire me for sure! My goal is to do 20 minutes/day/5 days a week on the treadmill. So far I've done pretty good. Good luck to all!

I have one goal: Walking-110 miles
Last month I did 99.1 according to my accupedo pedometer. This was in about three weeks, so I'm sure I'll knock this out of the water. At the end out this month I'll add together my walked miles and update my status with the approximate number. The month after that I'll add a few more miles. I'll push myself a little farther each month.

Elliptical is getting easier by the day 3.5 totaling at 9.68 miles so far

6/2 - 1.0 only (Walking) - started to rain, so turned back around
6/3 - 2.10 (Walk)
Total = 3.10
