Some Statistics....

Because I am a sad accountant who loves statistics, I thought I would analyse the proportion of posts per week! Interesting to see that weeks 5, 6 and 9 (and 1) have the most posts - maybe people start with enthusiasm, struggle or celebrate in the middle, and definitely celebrate at the end!! Bring on week 9 :)

Week 1103818%

Week 2515 9%

Week 3466 8%

Week 4537 9%

Week 5796 14%

Week 6614 11%

Week 7480 8%

Week 8471 8%

Week 9843 15%

100%

No surprise with those for me.

Week 1 and week 9 are obvious. Week 5 includes W5R3 which is scary looking and week 6, I don't want to talk about week 6!

Thanks for the statistical insight - interesting to see the increase in mosts mid-programme. It's maybe the point where the lurkers post for the first time, too - it was for me, anyway.

Yep - pretty obvious.

Week one - everybody introduces themselves

Week five - because of the jump from running 8 minutes continuously to running 20 minutes continuously

Week nine - people deservedly pumping their fist in the air at having completed the course and graduating
