  • I'm in a daft situation where my short runs are measured by time rather than distance.

    Have Vitality health insurance through work which gives reward points for activity, but minimum duration is 30 mins. I've sometimes run 5k and walked the remaining time as cooldown, but that kinda screws up the Strava data which is obviously unacceptable.

  • Vitality health insurance through work which gives reward points for activity, but minimum duration is 30 min

    Seems arbitrary and short sighted. Getting the inactive active won't work with minimum duration, could even work more as a disincentive.

  • Agreed. It doesn't require particularly strenuous exercise tho'. Average 70% MHR based on age, which is why I could run for 20-something mins and then probably just sit on my arse.

    What's equally stupid is that 30 mins minimum earns you the maximum of 8 points per day, out of max 40/week. Encourages you to exercise too frequently without enough rest days, particularly if you're trying to fit longer runs in as well.
