How do I join a 5x50 Challenge? And how does it work? It doesn't seem like it's all running...

Thanks in advance for your help! :D

Its too late to sign up for this challenge, but if you want info you can visit: 5x50.Co.uk. This is the second year and we went from 2-3 members last year to 70+ this year from this Community. You can walk, run, bicycle a minium of 5K a day for 50 days or you can also count 30 minutes of exercise. The hope is to create healthy exercise habits as well as the registration fee goes toward charity. Hopefully you can join us next challenge, because our team rocks! :-) Gayle

You could always do the last 40 days, just for the hell of it :D

I hope our enthusiasm isn't taking up too much of the c25k space. :) We have gone a bit wild about it! Malcy has even made us our own webpage with wonderful pie charts etc here - mmcinteractive.com/5x50/

Definitely watch out for it next time - or as Phil suggests, you could just do it anyway, without the data collection (though on that basis, I rather think I wouldn't have done a run today - it was a very hard one, that just wouldn't have happened without knowing I was going to log it!) Hopefully after 50 days of this, I'll be in the habit of doing exercise every day... :)
