The 100 push up challenge

Test at the end of week 2 - 23 with decent form - could probably have struggled to 25, but they were starting to become less than graceful. Demoted to column 2, which I'm quite relieved about.

A few more weeks of this and I'll be like Charles Bronson - the convict, not the actor.

5*15 press-ups -60sec rest.........100 seems a long way off........

I am off and running, well press upping :)

Having achieved 25 Press ups on the initial test on Thursday, I started the main programme today.

From the initial results it was suggested that I could jump straight to Week 3.

Despite having 3 days rest, my left shoulder was a little stiff but I managed the Week 3 Day 1, left column workout: For set 5 the suggestion was 9 so I added one (just) for good measure.

26 Feb – Initial - 25
2 Mar – W3 D1 - 10. 12. 7. 7. 10

One of the lesser useful advantages of being a 'stocky' runner

In that case, you can do the 1000 press-up challenge ;)

Call me Mr. Pedantic! But should not this thread be in the "Training" section of "Non Fellrunning".:rolleyes:

Mr Pedantic!

Just think how many fell-runners would suffer less injuries if they improved their core strength...

I thought that I had cocked things up, however:

Week 1 Right Colum is the same as Week 3 Left Colum which is what I followed :)

Indeed you're right :o, but you should be doing column 2 because you did 25 on your test :p;)
