My first go at this, some of you guys/gals have some crazy mileage being racked up! I'm starting with a modest 36 and i'll work up from there hopefully :smile:

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback, I thought slow and steady increase might be the best way to start. Ill keep an eye out for the August link and set myself a modest goal. Is there any way of making this thread a favourite so i don't have to keep trawling through the forum trying to remember the name of the thread I…

There appears to be three main types of tracker on the market, a very basic description that might help you is a) wristband "fitbit" style tracker that you wear on your person all day and it tracks your daily activity, calorie burn etc. Not entirely sure what the benefit of these are, perhaps someone else can help you…

Hi, I completely understand where you are coming from with regards to commercial gyms, they are often full of posers and can make you feel uncomfortable, plus they can be expensive.
