Momentum 🌱
Momentum is built through regular movement. March is about keeping activity part of your normal working week - no fresh start, no pressure to do more.
Your goal is simple: build a 7-day active streak by logging activity on seven days in a row. To count as an active day, complete at least one 20-minute activity. Once you’ve got a streak going, keep it rolling - and if it breaks, simply start again.
Complete a 7-day streak to unlock one entry into our March prize draw, with £100 worth of vouchers up for grabs. Complete a 14-day streak to earn a second prize draw entry. Keep the wheel turning and see how far steady movement can take you.
Consistency Wins
Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success.

Experience the Joy of parkrun
If you've never experienced a parkrun, you definitely should! parkrun is a joyous experience. Hundreds of people of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders, religions and races, joining a weekly celebration of movement, community, energy and life.
parkrun is now over 20 years old. There are now 10 million parkrunners, with 2,400 locations around the world, including junior parkruns and over 40 in prisons and young offenders' institutions. It is quite simply a phenomenon. If you've never been, then here's the lowdown:
- parkruns are 5K runs/walks on Saturdays at 9 a.m. in England, 9:30 a.m. in Scotland. Junior parkruns are 2K and on Sunday mornings. 🏃♂
- It's free. For an official record, register on the website and bring your barcode.
- You don't need to be able to run 5K to take part. Lots of people walk all 5K. 🚶
- It's run by enthusiastic volunteers who give up their time each week. 📣
- You can mark your progress with parkrun milestones. There are T-shirts for completing 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and even 500 parkruns. 🎽
