Jantastic is going really well, Wrekin Road Runners are showing the commitment to the cause meaning that we are performing near the top of the league tables for both the large teams and overall.
Checking on Thursday morning we were the 11th placed team in the large teams category having completed 365 workouts including 308 runs, 36 bikes and 21 swims. Phenomenal! In week 2 all Wrekin Road Runners gained the maximum points with only 1 joker needing to be used as far as I can tell.
February is where it starts to get a bit more interesting. As well as logging your activities, you are also challenged to identify your longest activity of the week and meet that challenge. So make sure you set realistic but challenging targets. Ones which are attainable but aren't going to so easy that others will sneer at them (and they will...). Set targets that will push you out of your comfort zone and give you a sense of achievement when you pass them.
Personally I've found Jantastic extremely motivational in these tricky winter months, combined with being part of a running club it's been easier to get out there, do those runs and keep up with the resolutions. More so when you know that you're encouraging others to log their runs too and if you don't do yours, you'll be letting the side down. Some would call it banter, others peer pressure and some would say it was bullying. Well if it is bullying, it's justified so there's no point crying about it ;)
