Since I was there at their invitation to do some App testing, you're probably expecting me to spill the beans on what I saw..... but since I signed a confidentiality agreement and I'm certain that they'll keep to their end of the bargain, so must I.

However, I will say this, they were courteous and very interested in improving our experience when using the site. Not only that but I now have a bright green HU coffee mug. What's not to like?

Best thing of all would be an HU App, so I can continue my addiction anywhere on my Mobile!

And I'm not bothered Rob, that Westie of yours has a loose mouth, a nice juicy bone will coax any information out of him while your back is turned!

Boo!

Have they got any plans to do a C25k stand that they can take around the country? Always strikes me as an opportunity for them ... think of all the spectators who go to cheer their loved ones on at various events who feel that they would like to join in next year but just don't know where to start. Then they turn around whilst waiting for them to return and ... voila ... a handy NHS C25k stand where they can get all of the essential information they need. Professionals to talk to, C25k ambassadors, advice on the kit you need to start, etc.

Then again there might already be one around and I've just never seen it :D

I've never seen one either and no such thing was mentioned today. Then again, this was HU, not the NHS.

Only serious in that they're quite entitled to protect their intellectual property and you have to respect that. No "suits" or anything, just pleasant people asking for feedback.

Oh a mystery! What's their end of the bargain then?

Quite simply, they will treat anything I told them as confidential. Bear in mind, HU is a whole lot more than C25K and our forum is one of many from which they can choose to select someone to talk to. While I don't mind anyone knowing what brand of trainers I wear or how quickly I ran last week, I imagine members of one or two other forums may be less open about the challenges facing them.
