Who fancies 10km of mud and obstacles? Come and join Team Wolef

Quite a few of us are interested in doing the Wolf Run this September so we were thinking of getting a team together.

It's for all abilities, it should be really good fun. It's not timed and it'll be too wet to wear your Garmin, so don't worry if you're not a fast runner. We'll be a team and no Wolef will be left behind.

It's on the 6th & 7th of September just south of Coventry, so fairly central. If we get a team together we get a slightly discounted entry.

If you're interested, post on here and we'll start making a list.

We also need to pick a charity so if everyone wants to suggest their favourite one and then we can argue about it for ages with no firm decision being made.

So, I'm in and my favourite charity is the Birth Trauma Association.

thenightsky, I have a degenerate spine too I'll crock along with you if you're up for it?

Mitchy1nge · 31/03/2014 12:13

I am doing it very lazily, we look at the 30 day challenge pages and if it says 9 then I just do 9

have been going through a phase of not feeling like going to the gym to do weights but to be fair by the time I have mucked out and lugged hay and water around and groomed and ridden and all the rest of it I just want to eat before the evening routine - I am getting the occasional walk when I've finished in the morning but otherwise am fairly inactive by my standards

Right, I've started using the apps on my phone and I did a 40s normal plank and 40s side plank on each side. Then I did 20 push ups but as 5,4,6,5 with breaks in between- is that cheating? It says it's building up to 50 consecutive push ups.

I didn't do any push ups or planking yesterday but I did run 4 miles and then spent 3 hrs digging in the garden, so can I be let off? I will do it today before I get started on more digging. I downloaded an app and it says to do sets of push ups- how is everyone else doing it?

Mitchy1nge · 30/03/2014 20:28

in future I will listen thenightsky

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 30/03/2014 00:03

feet thank you for the link, is it wrong of me to be relieved that my local sessions are sadly on the days that I'm at work?

I am still doing the push up challenge

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 30/03/2014 00:02

Entries haven't opened yet. So you still have time . And if you want to go for it, you just need to send me a PM with your name, DOB, email address and tee-shirt size so I can register you as part of our pack

thenightsky · 29/03/2014 23:49

I should have stopped completely when the calf strain was first diagnosed and rested it properly

What did i tell thee month ago eh?

When do entries have to be in for this. I know my physio said I'd be mad to try given my degenerative spinal thing, but I'm getting hopes up again now.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 29/03/2014 23:44

Are you joining us Blue? It's only 10K

BlueChampagne · 29/03/2014 22:17

Wow did 2 miles of mud in a 10 mile run - respect due guys!

Mitchy1nge · 29/03/2014 20:49

I've kept up with the push ups and plank challenge, I think it was meant to be a 90 second plank but at 85 my lower back muscles caught fire

Oh no, sorry you won't be able to make it Tiredemma. Can't your in-laws rearrange their 60th wedding anniversary?

I've been lagging a bit this week, combination of lurgy and DH being away (what good timing that was...). Just managed a 40s plank and 10 press-ups.

Anyone in Herts, Beds and Bucks might be interested in this. Have heard lots of good things about them but never been stupid brave enough to have a go but £5 for 5 sessions can't be bad, even if I keel over after the first one :)

Mitchy1nge · 23/03/2014 13:12

old people can be so selfish

Tiredemma · 23/03/2014 07:45

Im quite disappointed actually that they dont want to spend this special weekend watching myself and a bunch of other women getting muddy.

Where is their sense of fun?

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 22/03/2014 22:28

emma that we are losing you, although 60 years of marriage deserves a celebration

Mitchy1nge · 22/03/2014 19:54

but why don't they want to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary watching us lot Be Amazing? what is wrong with people? :(

Tiredemma · 22/03/2014 19:31

Bad news im afraid.

I cant do the WOLEF- sorry for being a let down. The event now clashes with 60th wedding anniversary plans that DP's grandparents have just arranged.

really sorry-

i have let my 'group' leader know so hopefully someone can take my place in the wolef group with ohone

next year hopefully?.....

OneHandFlapping · 22/03/2014 09:25

20 pushups and 40s plank.

I started the full pushup challenge, because I could already do 15, but I'm struggling. I could only do 18 +2 yesterday. I imagine I'm setting myself up for failure this week.

Fishandjam · 21/03/2014 22:39

Great that you're on the mend mitchy. I feel a right fraud, seeing a sports physio when I'm not even that sporty and good at running. But I guess if it enables me to keep running then it's the right thing to do. YY to the name shin splints. I know that it's called medial tibial stress syndrome these days, but that's nothing like as descriptive I didn't realise that if you try to run through the pain of shin splints you can get stress fractures.

Mitchy1nge · 21/03/2014 21:07

everything is suddenly feeling so much better thanks, I should have stopped completely when the calf strain was first diagnosed and rested it properly but I was too focused on a particular event

shin splints sound nasty, the very name makes me wince, like splinters of bone

Fishandjam · 21/03/2014 20:40

Physio was excruciating. In the normal course of things a leg massage from a well built young man would be a high point in my calendar. But I got on the table very reluctantly yesterday. Still, things are improving and I may even be back running in a couple of weeks. How are your various areas of crockedness?

Mitchy1nge · 21/03/2014 20:14

well done, how was physio? and where's everyone else?

Fishandjam · 21/03/2014 20:01

Oi yourself

All done !

Mitchy1nge · 21/03/2014 18:30

5 push ups and 40 second plank

or whatever more heroic variants you fancy
