Just curious. I received my shirt I ordered today, but not the challenge bracelet. Are those coming later by chance?

[@thisisjogon]

@@sidoirm It will be separate yes Sean, all wristbands have been posted and should be with you soon, we are seeing a lot of delays due to postal strikes. Email us in a few days if you still haven't received the wristband. Hoping that you're well.

[@sidoirm]

@@thisisjogon no worries I appreciate the update!

[@knitewe]

I'm in! Now to decide where to run.

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome, welcome

These last couple years I have been extremely lazy and haven’t ran more than 5k which has ultimately made my mental health plummet as well as my fitness. However as a tradition every year I enter the London marathon ballot as let’s be honest I was never going to get in…. Long story short I’m now running the London marathon (my first time running more than 5 miles). I always watch your videos but now they mean a lot more to me. I don’t know how I’m going to do it and I’ve never been so anxious but I believe this can be the first proper thing I can achieve in my life and hopefully help me turn a new page in my life. My goal was always to run a marathon before 30 but looks like that may happen a lot earlier (I’m 21). I guess I just want to say your videos have given me the motivation to believe that I can do it. So if you see someone on television struggling to breathe at the London marathon in a jog on top you know who it is 😂. (Don’t worry I’m training now and taking it seriously).

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you for sharing and I wish you continued success with your running 🏃‍♂️

Amazing! Love it, thank you for sharing. ✨🦄

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you

[@danieloakes7355]

Used some of your advice you gave when I commented on a video and I came top 20 overall U13 in the national cross country relays. Team didn’t do to well but I’m very happy with my race and thanks again for the advice

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing Daniel thank you for sharing and watching, and well done!

[@luigicalzone1263]

Signed up, you scared me at the start. Thought it was going to be an ultra distance 😂

Ha, amazing and thanks for joining Luigi!

[@tom_new]

Brilliant idea to follow up last year's 10k. Signed up and can't wait. I say that then remember how tough a mile can feel when you're racing it having done that for the first and second time this year, but will give it the best JOG ON shot for a PB. Some will do their mile very fast, others very relaxed, but fast or slower they all will count as a JOG ON mile. Love the idea of the wristband - so true about medals! Well done Harry!

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Tom and all the best with your mile - they can be very painful!

[@bronaghpatterson5605]

Just signed up. Much excited

[@DarrenDrageruns]

Awesome I'm in 🏃🏃🏃🏃

[@thisisjogon]

Great Darren thanks for entering

[@hugheslegend6412]

Time to set a new 1 mile PB I think. Was meant to be 10 X 400m hill repeats that day.(27th).. think I will do it after the mile.

[@thisisjogon]

Absolutely - all the best with it. It's a rare pb to chase so a nice opportunity

[@lisamadison2671]

Haven't been able to do much running lately but I just couldn't pass this up. It won't be pretty or fast but I will do it!

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome Lisa, glad to have you join!

Awesome Chris, look forward to a video clip if you decide to shoot one

[@chrisbowman1113]

@@thisisjogon absolutely 🤘

[@edladd212]

Looking forward to it! I'll have to have a think about how to pace this since I've never raced a mile before. Feels a little bit too long to just go crazy on it!

[@thisisjogon]

Yeah, it can certainly burn and needs to be paced well. Wouldn't be surprised if we see someone attempt it Friday and have a second go on the Sunday because they feel they can pace it better

[@bh4560]

96.4 percent effort lol.. 👌

Would love this but running a half marathon on the Sunday. 😪

[@thisisjogon]

Not to worry, if anything changed we'd love to have you join. Enjoy the marathon!

[@haggisxyzzy]

Well I was looking for a reason to start speedwork again. So 7 days speedwork should be Ideal preparation for this. I'm not going to look at what my heart rate is on this one.

[@thisisjogon]

Bring out the OG top. Wishing you all the best with this one Alasdair, it might burn a bit

[@irishmusiccentral]

Running a marathon on the 26th so another mile might break me 😅

[@thisisjogon]

Yes absolutely - the legs might not be working so well at that point. Still, it would be quite the video clip - "guys, just finished a marathon, now going to run ONE MORE MILE". Have a great race.

[@cturtz]

Is this international? Could I participate from Australia ?

[@thisisjogon]

Yes absolutely, you'll find that there is a 'Outside of UK' option when signing up. It is £10. On mobile sing up it only uses PayPal, there is a card option signing up on laptop

[@reamonvandijk5299]

Would love to join. But I'm dealing with a runners knee... Does anyone have any tips?

[@thisisjogon]

Do some research, sorry to hear that - hoping it improves

[@Swima32]

Hi Harry is there another method of payment? I'm out here in China and Paypal is blocked :/ I'm using the laptop as well but no card option popping up?

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks for asking, if you send a direct email to [e-mail] with this issue we can take it from there and see if there is anything we can do.

[@zeviheller5628]

can you also do a 5k one please

[@thisisjogon]

We did one previously Zevi, so there won't be one for a while now - but maybe next year you never know

[@carolinebray82]

Only in the UK? 🤔😭

No, worldwide

@@thisisjogon Great I'm signed up! Can't wait to make the video.. and run! Only on the dates you stated? and it's due by the 11/28? that might be different than Colorado. I'll do my best 🤪🏃🏼‍♀💃🏼

[@adamtherunner92]

I’m in, as a new runner I have no idea how to pace myself never mind at a mile. Inhaler at the ready. 🫣🤣

[@thisisjogon]

Good lord it can backfire if one goes out to quickly. Perhaps a short practice this week? All the best Adam
