A New addition to our little family of forums.

I am so excited right now. For a while I have been aware our little family is missing something and have been working with HealthUnlocked towards resolving it.

healthunlocked.com/walkingf...

HealthUnlocked have very kindly agreed to allow us our new forum to give us the best approach to providing a complete package.

For a while now I have been concerned about members who would like to get their fitness levels up a bit before starting the running app. Also I have been very worried that just a small percentage (about 1% ) who are told that due to previous circumstances that they cannot run and I have always felt that we just leave them hanging after building them up.

Our new forum is called Walking for Health and it will incorporate all forms of walking. I know a lot of our members go on lovely walks on their non running days and this will be a great place to share these walks. I know we have a lot of dog walkers as well. If your on the IC you can be part of the walking for health forum as you get back to running again.

I hope you will join me in this new forum as I am expecting it to be a great addition to our exercise programs.

I think this is a great idea... not least because I'd stumbled upon an interesting Couch to 5K (and it will please the pedantic!) walking programme because somewhere I went on holiday several years ago keeps sending me emails and really thought it needed sharing. I was umming and ahhing about posting it here because, due to my own experience, I feel very strongly about the merits of just getting stuck into the NHS C25K, but Realfoodieclub 's case is solid.

I've posted it on the new forum if anyone wants a look. A little teaser for you...

Fabulous! I love walking; a few years ago I did a walking HM, which I don't think I could ever manage running!

Brilliant! I love walking and have done a number of sponsored walking half marathons and a 25km one too - much further than my current running distances!! :)

I have promised my family this was the last forum I was taking on. Hehe I'm part of 5 now 😀. But like you say there is swimming and cycling 😬.
