The unit that was donated to Nicola Guthrie, the Shine Night Walk participant, was most definitely put through it’s paces on the run up to the massive 26+ mile marathon around London.
Nicola would wear the Fitbit throughout her daily training, using it to track her steps, distance and average time per mile.
It is an incredibly handy training tool for those preparing for an event like this, giving you all the vital info you need to track your progress.
