Janathon Day 6

It was the gym again tonight. But things have changed. Rather than just walk straight in, or on the off chance that someone is on reception, walk straight in and flash the membership card, we have a new system. After going through the rigmarole of having photo and fingerprint taken I can now just walk straight in, or on the off chance that someone is on reception, walk straight in and scan fingerprint. Brilliant.

Tonight I managed to find a treadmill that not only worked but was also in mph. Happy days.

Today's mileage = 4.31

Total Janathon mileage = 28.40

If it wasn't enough being a member of a gym, there also seems to be the odd personal trainer available…

Really?

 

#juneathon day 7…..the day the treadmill couldn’t keep up with me…

This morning, feeling enthused and energetic, I hit the gym. Little did I know that today would go down in history……

The plan was to do 40mins on the treadmill, increasing speed every 5mins, starting off pretty easy and building up to a fast pace. Well that was the plan….

Started at a pretty easy speed – '10' whatever that means – plus I was on a treadmill that was set at kms. Every 5mins I increased speed and incline so that by 30mins into the run I was at speed '15', which felt quite fast. It which point the treadmill, amazed by my athleticism, decided he couldn't keep up with me and up came the message:

“Could not attain target speed”

Job done! I will now be forever known as the treadminator! Here is said treadmill just before it belched smoke and exploded.

Day 7 mileage = 4.44 (after a nifty bit of converting)

Total Juneathon mileage = 32.50
