[Sweaty Betty]

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!

Oooooooo who shall I pick on.....

[Granty]

Presumably if I win then you owe me something large and expensive ??

[Sweaty Betty]

Would anyone LIKE to be challenged?? Or conversely - wish NOT to be? Maybe a Poll Steve?

I have a couple of good 'uns already - and they probably already know who they are!

[sara t]

i have a few challenges in mind for myself!! sub 2 hour half on the 26th and a sub 50 10k on the 10th may.
Ive said it now! However i need sub challenges on the run up to these events- any challengers out there?

[richardsimkiss]

I'm quite open to any challenges anyone may muster up (no idea if i'll be capable of doing them though )

[Steve]

No prizes Granty....just pride!

Self challenges not allowed Sara....not here anyway!!

I think we'll just challenge based on what folk say on the forum SB

Keep 'em reasonable and attainable though folks.

NB TO ADMIN
COULD THERE BE A LIST KEPT OF THE CHALLENGES/WHEN MADE/WHEN COMPLETED?

I was going to challenge you!!!! Doh!!!!

How about holding 8.0 - 8.11 minute miles for 5 miles.....before the end of the month? That should see you on track Sara!

[JBBury]

I'm open to challenges.

[richardsimkiss]

Added as requested Steve, hopfully we can keep on top of keeping it updated - any new challenges will be added when accepted

Sub 3hour marathon

[richardsimkiss]

Hows about a single sub 5min mile before the end of May JBB?

haha. I was going to challenge you to do two sub five minute miles back to back

I will accept your challenge, but may have to wait until June as I plan to do a a few 1 mile races, but was avoiding May because of the marathon. There is a one mile race on May 28, which I might still do, but probably too close to the marathon and may affect my ability to meet Sturunner's challenge of a sub 3 marathon

how about JBB not buying another pair of racers before July???? I'm only jealous coz I need some new ones....

[Badz]

I'll accept any resonable challenge

Will try to think up a few for others too **sinister laugh**
