The 100 push up challenge

[LMF]

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........

[Trog]

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

That's the Week 1 Day 1 workout mate. Week 3 Day 1 is 14/18/14/14/max (20)

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

Well I did my 100 press ups yesterday morning. You lot might be good at fell running but you're crap at the important things in life like er.... doing press ups

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".

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 , but you should be doing column 2 because you did 25 on your test
