    Would we? I have my doubts Mind you, I used to be able to do well over 30, so if I can get to that again with my dodgy shoulder I'd be happy

    6 weeks is the plan But it does allow for longer if needed.

    I'd be happy if I get to 50 in that time...

    But, as you say, positive thinking

    I do not feel too bad after the initial test yesterday; I may be tempted to move Day 1 forward from Monday to Tomorrow or Sunday

    I have just realised that six weeks is just after the Gisborough Moors race so the final week may be a bit tough

    I don't want to brag or anything but I reckon I'd be able to do 100 press ups straight out of the box - not at this second but maybe tomorrow morning

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

    10 press-ups five times, 60sec rest.........off to do Noonstones in a bit.

    I've been at this for 2 weeks, but only just noticed this thread.

    Just finished week 2, doing column 3 - finding it hard going, but just about managing. Exhaustion test tomorrow. Don't fancy my chances much, reckon I'll do 20-25 and get demoted to column 2 where I belong. I find it hard to beleive this will lead to doing 100 in another 4 weeks, especially for anybody who isn't in column 3, but I live in hope.
