DH and I have. Hoping it will keep me motivated and kickstart my half marathon training which has been non existent so far
Am aiming for a mix of gym, run, walk and cycle to get my target of being active every day and fingers crossed it's doable

To be fair the kids thought I'd signed up to drink red wine every day

Thought this was some sort of socialist for a month thread...oh well, as you were 🤔

Surely if you have test days you're not running every day. Confused.

I've signed up but won't be running every day, more like aiming to keep my step count high (15K+). Such a good idea!

I did it last year - taking it more literally than you need to and actually ran every day ('rest' days were a short gentle run if no more than 20 mins, 'proper' runs 3 or 4 times a week)

I built fitness more than I realised - and ran my 10k PB at the start of February.

I've not signed up formally this year, but will be making a running plan to get me back on form in the New Year (two spring half marathons) after an attack of Xmas lazyitis

I'm going to do a mix of running, gym, cycling and walking
Just means I can try and be active every day in what is the worst, darkest month of the year
Hoping it'll keep me well mentally and get good habits for the whole year

Friend sent me the link. Never heard of it before!

I've signed up - it will be my 3rd year. I'm aiming to run most days, with a bit of strength training on days I can't get out due to childcare.

Haven't signed up to anything, but will be running or cycling every day in January. Is that what Red January is?
