Run/jog/walk a mile a day in 2020. Join the bandwagon early

[Newyearnewarse]

I have completed couch to 5k in the past
I have given up on running in the past
I have tried and failed in the past

But I have a plan for 2020

I am going to run/jog a mile a day for the year.

I know some days I will be knackered and fail but if I do I will do more the next day to make up for it.

Anyone like to join me ?

Sounds like a plan and I’d like to join you.

I'm in. I try most days but have at least 2 fails a week.

That sounds achievable- I'm in.

How long would it take to walk a mile a day? I really need to get fit

The average human walks 3mph, so it takes around 20 mins.

Does it have to be a mile all in one go? If I have a half mile walk somewhere and walk back later is that allowed?

Don’t want to rain on your parade but if you haven’t done a lot of exercise before, running every day can make you prone to injury. Your body needs rest days too. A few of my running friends picked up a lot of injuries doing RED last January.

Walking as long as your used to it should be fine.

I’d like to join, please

My stop is Blackfriars and my office is about a mile away. When I worked out it took as long to tube it as it did to walk, I started doing that twice a day. I’ve been thinking about attempting a light jog every day - well, I only work three days a week I’m the office - but would love to join you guys.

I'm in!
I've lost a couple of stone in the past 6 months which has made it easier to start being more active - got a couple more to go now!

I ran my first parkrun this morning in a steady 43 minutes and I've signed up to a Race at Your Pace challenge of 25 miles in January. I need something to make me accountable or I will talk myself out of it!

Yes. I’d really like to do this. I used to run a lot, but I’ve had lots of trouble with injuries.

Can I join! Please. I have run 1-2 miles a day since 2017-June 2019 and fell off. It is do able and it’s a great feeling. Planning to start again in 2020 🤩

Yes please 🙋‍♀️

Oh I'd like to join in too!

20 mins walking seems doable. 10 mins from the front door, turn around and come back. Surely I can manage that!

Joining in please. Let’s do this!

I would like to join please!

I already have this on my plan and started today, have a route already for the 1 mile and another longer one for when I get fitter and the weather gets better. Plan to balance my work / life better and I am also going to ditch sugar or as near as I can.

Oh I can only walk, hopefully quite fast by summer, not allowed to run due to joint/back issues

I'd love to join, please! I started C25K but fell off in week 5 as it got colder. I really need to do this to help me lose the 2+ stone I want to lose. Love the idea of walking for 20 minutes to cover a mile! Plus, I'll re- start the running and do that 3x a week instead.

Very happy to have people on board.

My plan is to try and get out every day but if I do miss a day the important thing is to average 7 miles over the week.

The biggest thing is to just get off my arse more than I have been doing and this seems a do-able challenge.

Oh can an oldie join please ? I retired a year ago and seem to have spent 12 months eating and drinking !

All welcome @Oldbutstillgotit
I managed to get out yesterday but the 1st is still my goal of starting.

I started this about September and kept it up till I was floored bu a heavy cold about a month ago, very slow jogging but on a circuit that has hills to get my heartrate up. I was thinking of starting again today.

How did you find it Expletive?
I figure once it becomes a habit it will be fine.
My fitness is not great at the minute but this will hopefully help me get there rather than kill me

I am in - have done this the last two days to get myself ready for goal start of 1st Jan. I did this last January and loved it; I'd like to see how far I can go with it.
