  • I'm feeling frustrated at the moment as I've been suffering from a pretty bad cold since the start of the week and have developed a nasty cough. I've missed 2 scheduled runs and I am itching to get out there but I know I need to wait for my chest to clear before I do. I wish I could give it a hurry up, I have a long run…

  • swam my usual 2.5km yesterday. Switched to 4 sets of 625m instead of 5 sets of 500m for a bit of variation, and to test my endurance. I could feel it. Looking forward to getting some training stuff soon

  • It's great to see everyone joint in with their goals for the month! :-) I thought I'd check in with an update seeing as we're a week into July GOAL 1 : Loose 2kg My weight has been doing funny things lately so no weight loss yet but weigh in day is Friday so we'll see. I'm not too worried as I have been sticking to my…

  • I'm in too! ...aiming for 115km this month and going fairly well so far
    in July Running Challange Comment by electriq July 2014
  • Thanks for the video, interesting to actually see it! It's more like a play pool than a lap pool by the looks of things, only people are also trying to do laps. Length wise, width wise, diagonally - mayhem! I'm not sure I'd have the patience and tolerance to do any swimming there

  • Yes, on swimmingcalculator.com if you sign up you can compete in challenges that you create or are invited to by other members. For example at the moment I am swimming The Cook Strait, that's the body of water between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Other possibilities are to swim around Manhatten Island, the…

  • I just added myself. I'm just coming up to 1000km logged on nike+ which is quite exciting. I'm about 25km short so will knock that off this coming week. I'm not one to use miles but it comes in handy because by my calculations 1000 miles by the end of the year is quite realistic for me. Looking forward to tracking my…

  • Yes, I'm finding swimming calculator.com great! -thanks! Can anyone tell me how to invite other people to the challenges though? I can't work it out and always enjoy having group challenges. Nike+ does a good job for running but I've been missing that on the swimming front

  • Just got back from my latest swim. Knocked 2 minutes off my time for 2500m, woo hoo!

  • Thanks a lot for the response and for the info about swimming calculator.com I'm still quite surprised to hear that I burn about the same swimming as I do running as all my preconceptions as well as research says otherwise. Perhaps I am just putting in more effort while swimming which is quite possible, I'm a lot more…

  • Word of warning, I'm not sure what its like at your pool but 5am is crazily one of the busiest times at mine (I stay well clear), all the squads are practising at this time and the few public lanes are completely packed with 4+ people per lane. I try to swim in the morning between 9am and 11am if its a weekday and in the…

  • I also usually use the Nike+ GPS watch however I have on occasion used the app, usually when the battery is low on my watch and I've forgotten to charge it. I have never had that problem before, but much like the previous poster I would suggest using the short cut to run function button and just not set a distance for the…
