April Challenge - not an April Fool after all!

I am on week 3 now (started earlier to kick start my 10k Challenge ready for an event in May). I am pleased with my progress and just the fact that I am actually sticking to doing a bit of strength work everyday. I am keeping things very simple so I don't have an excuse ;)

10 standing press ups: using the landing railing so not quite upright,

5 x 4 bent legged press ups: I have increased this to 10.

4 x 10 sec planks: I can now do 15 secs :)

Hoping you are all getting on ok with your challenges :)

Great work... you’re progressing well with all the exercises too. Upper body strengthening makes a surprising difference to the run, and that core work will pay dividends too.

15seconds is great on the plank it took me ages to get up to that, sounds like you are off to a great start.

Well done. Rfc x

Thank you! The tick sheet I have printed out and stuck up in the kitchen helps to keep me on track!
