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.

is it the 30 day push up challenge? if so im in.

Mitchy1nge · 15/03/2014 13:35

shall we start push up challenge on Monday?

Mitchy1nge · 15/03/2014 13:34

I won't chicken out either. As long as I have no difficulty chucking 20 or 25 kg of horse feed onto my shoulders I will remain overconfident of my upper body strength

my running powers are still quite badly impaired by injuries but I have faith :)

Tiredemma · 15/03/2014 10:19

Im still up for it. Just preparing my 'body'.

feetheart · 15/03/2014 10:18

I'm not chickening out though jumping a 10" 'thing' on my run today made my knee hurt - MUST do physio stretches Shock

Shall we all do a press up challenge or something? Or should we vary things a bit more? I bet all our biceps are pretty good (children are heavy). My core still needs work and I can't manage very many press ups yet.

Managed 3x 5 press up today!!! Have to start somewhere!!!

Undoubtedly. There's quite a lengthy juggling section.

feetheart · 09/03/2014 11:43

I can juggle - will that help? :)

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 07/03/2014 22:28

I can do cartwheels and arab springs Smile. I never managed a walkover though.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 07/03/2014 22:26

yy Eau to some group runs.

We'll be fine! There's a 4 hr limit and it's only 10k. Has everyone forgotten about the massive slide down the hill? That bit looks ace.

We should definitely organise a few group trail runs.

Mitchy1nge · 06/03/2014 10:21

so am a bit more cautious

I look forward to running a pre-race handstand training day somewhere :)

Mitchy1nge · 06/03/2014 10:19

but didn't you do them when you were little? Have never grown out of it, am rubbish at cartwheels now though even with a run up I think partly because once or twice after drinks I've miscalculated the space needed and hurt myself on things

Fishandjam · 05/03/2014 14:17

Just do a handstand, she says Hmm

I have never in my life managed a handstand. Or a cartwheel. I barely managed forward rolls Grin

Mitchy1nge · 05/03/2014 13:31

yes

I do them ALL the time, is probably why my wrists are fucked! There is almost definitely footage on youtube of me doing it in a stable (soft landing plus wall nearby for balance) but I often 'cheat' by using a wall to stop me from going all the way over

sometimes something snaps in my head during bellydance class and I have to do one or two there

I think I miss gymnastics Confused

just do a handstand and then bend and straighten your arms

Fishandjam · 05/03/2014 11:59

m1thcy, do you mean actually standing on your hands and pushing up while your feet are waving in the air? Shock

I think there's a bit where we have to crawl under stuff. Scuttling would be much quicker.

Have we had final numbers yet? Registration must be soon.

OP posts:
Mitchy1nge · 04/03/2014 22:42

not one handed ones

that would be a good party trick

can also scuttle about in the crab position but is possibly not going to be that useful for this event?

MerryBuddha · 04/03/2014 22:40

Handstand push ups Wow!!!

Mitchy1nge · 03/03/2014 22:52

I can do handstand push ups and a few normal push ups

was recently feeling smug about shoulder pressing 35kgs after a longish gap of no weight training until I saw a 5yo in a documentary lifting 48kg! She was from a family of dedicated heavy lifters though

Fishandjam · 03/03/2014 22:47

I find my upper body strength to be very odd. I can do triceps dips until the cows come home, but a proper press-up (ie not on knees)? Forget it. I've been trying to do them at bootcamp but only manage about 2 (not even going that low).

MerryBuddha · 03/03/2014 22:33

Actually thinking of booking a PT for upper body strenght training!!! How embarrassing will it be when I show I can't even do a press up!!! Not even one!!
