I want a challenge (easy please)

The flexibility challenge is out there, but I too would like something a little more.  How about a training "minutes-per-week" challenge (100,200,300,500?).  Whether you swim, bike or run....do whatever minutes you committed to.  200 to 300 seems to be what I can squeeze in this time of year....

 Whadddyyya say?

I'd like to join a challenge too. September was dismal due to illness and I have to get back to it. I'm planning to do a duathlon at the end of the month and I've got to ride more. Not sure about time right now though.....

I would be in for 200 minutes per week...that should keep my base where I want it for now; and be realistic with my schedule.  Let's just post to this thread each week on whether we met our goal or not....that way no one has a lot of record keeping to do.  Unless someone has the time and ambition :-)

So 200 for me!

tntexpres - 2006-10-04 9:38 PM Man! I hadn't realized how little I have been actually training......putting it into minutes makes me see how much more time I need to be doing. It is the motivation I think I needed. Guess I might be a lite weight compared to you shawn but put me down for 150 min, gotta start somewhere right? Thanks! Gotta getta goal -

Good goal!  Hey, everyone is different and has different ambitions.  But I am still definitely a lite weight compared to others on this site ;-) (bigtime!! but thanks for the compliment)  300 minutes per week for me is about an absolute stretch!  My goal above of 200 will be pushing it for this time of year.

I'm in, but only a little.  I'm nursing an ITB problem, so I'm taking it easy for October.

I'll take swimming for 100 60 Alex.

Good for you!!!  You can do it! 

I will jump in too.  I will go for 200 (if I include weight training - my primary focus this month is to get started on that)  or 120 if that doesn't count.  I should be able to do that but this is "unstructured month for me.

(guess that means the trainer tonight better go switch out the tires) 

Wow!  I feel like a wuss, but I'm sticking to my 60 mins for this week.  I plan to swim twice this week and then will pick it up the following week.

Have a good week everyone.

We are ending up week 2 of October.  How is everyone doing???

Exceeded week 2 goal..... 

OK, didn't do so well.  Only got to swim once for 40 minutes.  Goal was 60.  Still combating the ITBS, so I'm going to try at least one week of no activity involving the legs. 

New goal for next week:  60 minutes of upper body stuff

Have a good week everyone!
