Goal 1: When I say run, run. (pause) RUN! (+4 DEX) I want to do at least a 5k a week and a set of sprints. This is more for time than distance. Use the 5ks to improve running technique. Grade: Lose a grade per week without a full set of runs skipped (1 or 2, taking genuine factors into account). This is to be done with Zombies, Run (season 3! yay!) Intervals! Yay! Goal 2: Keep Running (+5 STA) I'm doing (probably) 4 Tough Mudders this challenge (I know I was supposed to not have anything, change of plan, see next post for details). But only at two events. So I need to get the first one of each done ASAP. One's on the 3rd and the next is on the 17th of August. So I can compare times. I'll have a week's holiday in between that is going to be nothing but running after 7 kids and the occasional bodyweight workout so we'll see what difference that makes, So 50/50 split if I make it round in time to do a second lap. Goal 3: Cut me (calorific intake) mick (+5 CON) So I've figured out why I'm not losing any weight at the moment - I've been stuck on one phase of a program for a while that's primarily strength based. Mainly because I don't recognise half the exercises in the next phase. However, phase one is for bulking. Plus by the time you take recover shake, yogurt + full fat milk into account, I'm having double my suggested fat intake. Oddly I'm not gaining either though. So it's 7 weeks of actually tracking macros and calories (sob). I know that will work it's just a load of really boring logging.. Side Quest: STFU Spartan season is here and the sprint/super are due in this challenge. Then on the 7th I'm running a final sprint, hopefully with my daughter (if Spartan HQ UK ever bother replying, they're not always the most responsive of people), I have times from last year so I have no reason not to smash them into little bits. It's the shorter distance (she can't do 10ks yet for example) but she does a lot of sports, so I need to keep up with her. So the thread title is more an aspiration than anything else. I hope to be able to run as fast as a girl by the end of this, hence the focus on running, BW exercises and cutting.
