FitFeud Success Story
Awhile back a successful FitFeud competitor shared the below story with me, reprinted here with permission.
I have had a lifelong love/hate relationship with running. I ran cross country for a couple years in high school, but never really enjoyed it. I liked being on the team, but always hated running while I did it. The cheapskate in me loves running because it’s free, but it was always one of those “I’ll do this because it’s good for me” type of things. Over the last ten years I probably went running about 10-15 times per year on average.
Over the last two weeks I went running 11 days out of 14 and loved it.
It started after I had a bad week in the FitFeud and went from being down 4lbs to only being down 0.5lbs! I gained everything back on opening day of the football season. This ticked me off and I went for a 2 mile run the next day and couldn’t believe how good the run felt. I intentionally took it really slow, but in my 15 years of on-again/off-again running I never felt that good. 2 miles turned into 3, 3 into 4, and just last Saturday I ran for 5.86 miles.
I attribute the success to a new running pattern where I start very slow and gradually bring up my heart rate, along with being in slightly better shape due to a soccer league I played in once a week over the summer. My wife says I am crazy and that it’s 100% because of the FitFeud. She said the peer motivation to keep going is what pushed me to keep doing it. It’s hard to argue that it played a big part, so thanks.
These sorts of stories prove the effectiveness and the benefits of FitFeud, and we are so proud to be able to help people like this. If you have a FitFeud success story to tell, please let us know.
