Geekabit has been a hotbed of activity this week – we got stuck into a little telephone rewiring in Southampton and donated a wi-fi router to a Hampshire community hub this week. We all agree that the best way to unwind after a hard day’s work (or prepare for one, if early mornings are your thing) is to get out and exercise, and it probably won’t come as surprise that we can get a little competitive from time to time. Not that competitiveness is a bad thing when it comes to exercise and keeping fit and healthy – quite the opposite.

The great discovery that has changed the way we exercise came in the form of Nike+ Running, an app that allows you to log routes and distances, keep track of timing and pace but most importantly – set up a Nike+ Challenge and compete against other users. This is currently fuelling the fire of competitiveness amongst friends and Sprechen colleagues at the moment. Yes, you may look like a bit of a lemon running around with an iPhone strapped to your arm, but you know that every metre you run is being logged, added to your total and waved in the face of your fellow Nike+ users when they log in. What better motivation to run that little bit further each day? And a healthy body helps the mind stay agile and healthy too, so you know you are getting a wi-fi and networking team that is in tip-top shape and ready to work hard for you.
