20 meter shuttle run / bleep test
The test involves running between two points that are 20 meters apart. The interval between each successive beep reduces, forcing the athlete to increase speed over the course of the test, until it is impossible to keep in sync with the recording.
When i do the test i allow myself 1 missed bleep - but when a total of 2 beeps are missed its time to stop
you can read a better description and download the Mp3 of the bleep test here

What about a rowing based one ?
5000m ?
2000m?
or a HIIT type interval one like 5x500m with 1 min rest between intervals ?
Excellent idea Boar !

if you look around there are loads of quite spots - avenue type areas on parks are good - no cars and just a few people about , i went to a mates with a long driveway , also the generic type tennis court / basketball court that are dotted around
just wear a blindfold so you cant see people lauging at you

Will do the 3 mile run tomorrow.
Burpees is difficult to test because some put more into their jumps than others.

yea, i know about the burpee thing ,so much variation , but its just a bit o fun , the 2000m rower is probably gonna take 8-10 mins , mabie a 500m time too , a track sprint may be good ,depending on how many of us has access to a track

A magic 50 would also be good as would a sandbag challenge.
Or maybe a monthly workout challenge where members send in their workout ideas and one of them is chosen each month.
