Right so, I think this is a great idea. I have opened a thread here with the rules:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056878236

Once we get the date locked down I will re open that thread and we will be.

I've added a pole to this thread. The thread can also be used for general discussion until we kick off.

Thoughts?

Great idea although have a stag and wedding in March and April respectively. Could derail the whole process but will be buying in for the process.
Got a bit scared by the last one though. Chipper only once a fortnight..... i could waste away here

Hmm tempted! Also liking 8 weeks instead of 12 .. easier to motivate yourself for 8.

I am thinking about doing this but I currently have a broken leg, as soon as I am out of my cast I want to get fit and build up my leg again, hopefully further than get back to where I was. Depending on when this starts and when Im out of my cast I will do it.

Had to sleep on it but I'm in too.
Have a nice trip mid April and I think this would get me to a good place before it.

I think eight weeks is a better timeframe than twelve as well. Next poll for that as most people seems ready to go on Monday?
