Edinburgh Fitness Challenge Blog Introduction

This blog is for me to put up fitness challenges for doing some workouts in and around Edinburgh and possibly further afield.

If you want to take part please post your own times and if you have the ability, record your run on Mapmyrun app on your phone and post your results to the facebook page.

If you want to take part in a points based challenge,
The calculations are this.

My results are based on me being 90kg in weight.
for every 15seconds you are faster, award yourself 1point
for every 15 seconds you are slower, deduct 1 point

For every kilo heavier than me you are, award yourself one point
for ever kilo lighter than me, deduct one point.

Example, Lighter:
I run a 15minute challenge
you weigh 85kg and it takes you exactly 15mintues as well , Your score = -5
you weigh 85kg and it takes you 13m45s your score = 0
you weigh 85kg and you do it in 13m, your score = +3

Example; Heavier:
you weigh 100kg and it takes you 15minutes, your score is= +10
you weigh 100kg and it takes you 17m,30s, your score = 0
you weigh 100kg and it takes you 20m, your score = -10
