Where have all the new runners gone?

Is it my imagination or are there far more graduates posting now than there used to be? There seems to be far less runners on early weeks blogging regularly. Is it the new site or the weather?

I suspect the weather has stopped people starting. I know I wouldn't have started. Let's hope it picks up once the heat disperses and holidays are over.

It could be the new site set up. Previously the graduate blogs got moved to a c25k+ section once they were off the front page, they're now kept with the under graduate posts so possibly more visible.

On a plus note, new starters finding us will only know this site and how it's laid out so they won't have the response we've had over the last week or so (so long as they don't get too narked having to log in each time they want to do something).

I'm new.....one more run/walk/run of week 2 to do and i've noticed a lack of people in similar circumstances on the new site. There seemed to be many more on the old site?
