I use an app called Strides. I recordots of targets on it eg weight list, km run, books read etc.

Thanks very much !
I don’t have a Fitbit ( maybe could treat myself for Xmas !) meantime I’ll down load the free App ..

Strava is a free app you can track different exercises or use a GPS watch. I have a TomTom and my DH uses a Garmin, each has their own app to download your stats into.

Babbi I just use my Fitbit which tells me the distance each run, and I just track it on here adding it on each time. (The other running thread does total miles for the thread each month, everyone adds on to the total) but I prefer to track my own. If you don’t have a Fitbit or tracker you can still download the Fitbit app and use the gps tracking function)

Hi .. is there an app - how do you track these numbers please ?
I’d love to do this in 2019
TIA

My dp has given me a pep talk in the pub. Don't judge both kids are away and I'm feeling more positive now

thenewaveragebear1983 · 10/12/2018 21:06

Bit too right! I always count halves!

BitOutOfPractice · 10/12/2018 20:36

Trust me that 0.5 counts Blush

That’s a great weeks total Amy. Keep plugging away bit, I had to revised my 1000k target to 750k after life & injuries got in the way but I’m super proud of what I’ve achieved this year. I doubt I’ll hit the 750k either but I’ve achieved other things this year I’m proud of instead.

Nailed my second HM this morning Grin Grin did just over in the end 22k but lost pace a lot after I had to divert to emergency loo stop at 12k mark, but kept going. Shattered now so got to find some energy for post school run activities in 50mins...

I'm on 707 / 43. I'm really worried now. I so don't want to fall at the last hurdle. It'll wipe out all the times I went out when I didn't want to over the whole year.

amysaurus87 · 10/12/2018 02:38

49.02 miles of walking done this week!!! I Knew it was going to be a good one this week! I've been carting bags of stuff to the charity shop everyday this week!

941.69/58.31

With 3 weeks to the end of the year I only need to do 19 miles a week. Pretty sure I can manage that!!

It’s hard this time of year with little ones who seem to pick up every cold going amy. Your doing really well, hope the move goes ok.

Long run Monday, Pilates class then 17k / 10.5m run Smile now need a salt bath soak before school run & after school Activites. Slow cooker is on so hopefully tea is all sorted as we get back late on Mondays. Plus a 8k v.muddy walk with kids at wend.

28.03 miles of walking done this week. Not quite what I wanted, but I've been home a lot as my LB has the most awful cold and has been incredibly fussy!

892.67/107.33

26 miles a week for the next 4 weeks will see me hit my target. I'm aiming for a big mile count this week as we are moving soon, so I'm walking all the stuff I don't need to a charity shop!
