    well done on the 2000 squats, you must have quads of steel

    the squats are surprisingly easy now I can knock 50 in one go with out too much trouble

    did 100 straight off on monday after a heavy kicking session at MMA and that burnt a lot, mucked me up for the rest of the week

    I hope by the end of the month to get 3000

    we have to start thinking about next months challenge if we fancy carrying on into the year

    I don't know if it's just due to the challenge but I'm breezing through my outdoor circuit training classes at the moment and I have definite stomach definition. 

    How about putting press-ups properly on the agenda for next time with .....

    something stomachy?

    Like crunches; v-sits; straight legs to ceiling; or full sit-ups (going back above head and touching floor between legs).

    I joined a press-ups thread once before, and really suffered, I find if I do them more than about twice a week, things just get worse rather than better, my arms dont recover between sessions.  It's my age...

    Morning everyone, I haven't wimped out, it's just that I've been running my little socks off for Team Blighty and have an off-spring at home, so haven't been able to keep up with the challenge as wellimage.

    ASA I can, I'll be back, but count me in for next month as the Team Blighty thing is only for January, so back to normal next week.

    *breathes sigh of relief*

    How did you get on at physio Parky? I saw your reply, but did they give you a reason for the problem?

    Hi CJBA - I've spotted you geeing people up the forum about the mileage - you are a hardworking kitty!

    The resurgence of the old injury and new one is a mystery but fiz did some work on troubled areas in preparation for my 10K off-road on Sunday and gave me some extra stretches.  She also told me to hold in my glutes when running up and down hills and thinks this should help.  She recommends everyone should do this anyway.  I did a club handicap hilly race last night (prior to fiz this morning) and the niggles were there after, but minimal and I recovered quickly.  Thanks for asking.  Well done on the Blighty bimbling.  *Goes off to check database*

    Hold in your glutes? How do you do that? image

    Not sure - I haven't tried yet Frog.  Clench or tense I s'pose.  Will report back when I've tried it on hills next week.

    Me too - I missed my session today

    You're both doing really well.  The original figure of 3,000 is a hell of a lot for squats as are the timings on the planks.  I might miss doing my squats today as I did a race this morning but will do the planks in a mo + as many press-ups as I can manage.

    Keep on keeping on kids! image

    I didn't have a good race.  Started off OK but suffered from lead legs halfway through and my foot went numb for a bit after running through icy bogs at about one mile.  Luckily the feeling came back and I could carry on.  Was lovely scenery though and the sun came out.  It was a great first race for the club - I think we had about 200 people.

    I've decided to give myself the day off so I'm on the couch with a big bar of chocolate. imageimage
