Shocking experience at the gym

Jun

I was back in the gym for today’s run – once again I’ve left any strength conditioning to one side and feel bad about it. And once again, I’ve vowed to start going a couple of times a week again.

I keep an old pair of iPhone headphones at the gym that go into a socket on the treadmill and allow me to watch whatever is on one of the screens while I’m running. There was a slight problem today though… the phones were shorting and I got a couple of short, sharp zaps in the right ear before I abandoned the idea. The phones are now abandoned in a nearby bin.

What is 1095miles?

A streak running challenge where you run at least three miles a day, EVERY day, for a year - that's right, no days off.

It's also this running blog where you can follow people on the challenge and where and when they ran thanks to some nifty technology from Garmin that tracks them via satellite and shows off a host of other flashy stuff like their heart rates. You can even 'follow' their progress via a little icon that runs around the map at the end of each link.

We also hold the occasional informal run on Tuesday nights in London, meeting at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner for a three-mile trot. Look out for posts of the next run. All ages and abilities welcome, it's a social gathering, not a keep-fit club - although being a bit fitter will be a happy by product.
