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.

I cried at physio on Tuesday and she wasn't even touching me. In fact I'd only just started unlacing one shoe. I don't cope well with some things Blush hope you find the treatment helpful

Fishandjam · 20/03/2014 10:54

Just as well, I'm visiting the physio again this afternoon re my shin splints and I expect he'll pummel me into a sniveling heap like he did last week Blush

Mitchy1nge · 20/03/2014 07:12

wow 10!

I think it was 5 with a 30 second plank. There isn't anything today :(

Fishandjam · 19/03/2014 21:34

What was today's challenge? Confused I did 10 "proper" press ups and a 30 second plank, in case. Can't go all the way to the floor on the press ups though.

Hi MitchyInge - just jumped off the sofa and done mine!

Fishandjam · 18/03/2014 22:21

All done - 30s plank, 4 proper push ups, 10 knees push ups. Really feeling the non-running now though (sicknoted out due to shin splints), my crappy lower back is stiffening up like a bastard. Can't even do bootcamp due to all the sprinting involved. Maybe next week!

Can our challenge be V sits next? My record is 2 mins 45 seconds Grin It's about the only fitness-related thing I'm good at!

Mitchy1nge · 18/03/2014 20:22

oi where are you all?

it's 4 push ups but only 20 seconds plank today

Standingonlego · 17/03/2014 22:24

Back from skiing - body tired but plank and push ups done :)

Now just got to work off a week of massive overindulgence of food and booze Blush

feetheart · 17/03/2014 21:55

You lot are just showing off :)
I managed 20sec plank (though know I can do 60sec as had to beat DH a few weeks ago :)) but push ups are a different matter. I sort of managed 3 but needed to do them from kneeling. Must look at the young man link and get a few ideas.

30 second plank and 5 push ups. That was about as much as I could manage so will be interesting to see what I can do in 30 days!

I did the plank, the push ups, some crunches AND some tricep dips.

so ner.

Mitchy1nge · 17/03/2014 11:51

have achieved 20 second plank and 3 push ups, accompanied by a Mitchy jr :)

feetheart · 17/03/2014 10:35

OK I'm in for Plank/Push-up challenge.
Will do it at lunchtime and scare entertain the cats :)

Fishandjam · 16/03/2014 22:19

Pah Emma, that all you got? Easy peas Grin I'm a right planker, me. (Just don't ask for chinups - I tried a bit of a sideways monkey thing on the asymmetric bars at the Olympic gym today and managed about a metre before I fell off. And got a blister on my palm.)

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 16/03/2014 21:46

OMG M1tchy! What a nice young man Smile

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 16/03/2014 21:41

Well done OneHand. I will do mine before bed. Might have to do Jillain Michaels style press ups on my knees instead of all the way down Smile

OneHandFlapping · 16/03/2014 11:57

Signs up for plank challenge and pushup challenge.

Just did day 1, because if I can't do them on a day when I'm loafing around, how will I ever when I've got to work!

Mitchy1nge · 16/03/2014 10:23

yayyy am looking forward to this

demonstrated by a nice young man (and friend) if people are interested in a range of easier or harder or just want to check normal form

I think I'll use dumbbells on the floor to save wear and tear on my elderly wrists

Tiredemma · 16/03/2014 09:08

OK THEN LADIES-

TOMORROW (MONDAY)
DAY 1

20 SECOND PLANK

Yes, that's the sort of thing! OK, let's start Monday then. Could we do the plank challenge at the same time or would that be pushing it?
