So….I was talking to one of the guys at the gym earlier about the daily 300 lunge challenge… He pointed out that with the extra i did on the 31st August, by the end of the month I would’ve done 9300 lunges so I might as well do a bit extra every day to bump it up to 10,000… how can I say no to that? LOL So here’s my own little record of the extra ones so I can keep track – 4th - 50:700 done ✅💪 vid 1 5th - 100:700 done ✅vid 2 5th - 10 in kick boxing - 110:700 7th - 60 while cooking tea 170:700 9th - 50 done ✅ vid 3 220:700 10th - 160 done ✅ vid 4 380:700 P.s - yes I’m an idiot 😭🔫 BUT if I want to say I’ve done 10000 in sept, I’m going to have to do a few more 😭😭 10th sept - decided going for 10000 total in sept - 380:1000 done ✅ 11th - 100 done ✅ while cooking tea 480:1000 12th - 30 in kick boxing ✅ 510:1000 14th - 120 done ✅ 630:1000 17th - 200 done ✅ 830:1000 21st - 120 done ✅ 950:1000

Day 21 - 300 lunges - done ✅ Really, really not feeling it today, tired & achy back - by time I was finished I was nearly warmed up 🤪🤪 20 lunges between sets - mix of singles, alternating & pendulum. 40 lunges to start then - 4 sets leg press (80 lunges total) 2 sets deads (40 lunges total) 4 sets bench (80 lunges total) 6 sets curls (120 lunges total) Plus 60 bonus ones 😭 420 lunges all in, so I can add 120 to my extras tally 😁😁

Day 20 done ✅ Thursday night = late night so tired today but got it done & out of the way 😁 Usual mix of all the lunges 🦵🦵

Day 19 - 300 lunges - done ✅ It’s Thursday so not up ridiculously early, so, for a change, went for a short walk while it was still dark & thinking no one would see me - turns out there are lots of early dog walkers around here 😭😭 but I got them done 🦵💪 Did a few full range ones on naughty foot - can feel it now but as long as it eases off while I have breakfast then it’s all good 🤞

Right, next 1/2 is in less than 4 weeks, 3 weekends = 3 long runs - do I concentrate on distance or elevation? Blackdowns had 1700ft elevation, Quantocks as 1000 more at 2700 ish ft - obviously I had a plan…..it involved running that elevation & hitting 13.1+ miles during august but naughty foot stopped that - now I have limited time & I don’t know what’s best to do - try to hit elevation and worry less about the distance, do the reverse & concentrate on hitting miles or try to make sure all 3 long runs are hilly & 1/2 marathon distance - problem is, I know that i will be shattered if I tick all the boxes, ot will be a shock to the body as not built up - it might do more harm than good 😕 - there’s just not enough time now to train properly - @Sunny Durman what do you think? Unless I try hilly shorter runs during the week (8 ish miles) and moderately hilly long run on the weekend 🤷‍♀️
