12 Chin Ups please. Planning on doing the 2k row tomorrow, my previous pb is 6:24.1 done Jan 07 but doubt I'd get anywhere near that. Anything below 7mins and I'll be happy. Doing the bleep test on Friday as well

Under 7:00 is the Holy Grail for a 2k row. I got down to 7:04 early last year but haven't had the b@llocks to go for it since - it's just too painful

Wow you must be some kind of superstar! The bloke who won the Indoor Rowing Champs this year did it in a time of 5 minutes 42.5 seconds - and he's in the Olympic Rowing Team. So if you can beat him by over a minute I'm guessing you'll be the main man in Beijing this year?

Or perhaps not

some great work there people !!

i did the 20 meter bleep test today

level 12 shuttle 6

happy with my progreass (level 10.4 in jan)

im thinking a 1 miler might be a good addition , not many taking the 100 burpee challenge and its looking to get relegated

Northern Englands strongest man u90kg  2010
The Midlands strongest man u90kg 2011
Yorkshires strongest man u90kg 2011
uk Open powerlifting champion 90kg 2010
PAGAN humilator since 2009

I think the main problem with the 100 Burpees (apart from the afct it's bl00dy hard) would be enforcing correct form.

I used to run a Circuit Training class at the YMCA gym and occasionally would have races between teams - shuttles runs, press ups, burpees etc. I'll never forget one of the regular's burpees - he would throw himself from the top of his jump straight into a prone 'pressup' position - hilarious and very dangerous - great fun to watch though

Why haven't you done the 3 miler Sam?....you'd get a real good time I imagine.

I still can't get below 19 mins atm..not that I'm training for it tbh. I think I'm just a tad too heavy

I ran 17:13 for 5k (3.1ish miles) about 3 years ago - haven't done one since - and don't intend too

I'm now around 2 stone heavier than back then

An athletics track is especially handy as the streets round by me are lined with prostitutes in the evenings. However, on a side note, this could be useful for future HIIT sessions i.e. jog to one prossy, sprint to the next etc etc

How many chances do we get with this, does it have to be your first time, or can re-post an improved time at a later date?
