Nellers - not nice at all - hope you feel better soon, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

3 x 17 done - only just! Had to give myself a serious talking to to get the last 5 of the final set done! I am really keen to see it through to the 25 on Christmas morning, and my well rain check then (hopefully not before!)

To be completely honest, LB, I don't feel ill and I've got no temperature or anything, just an ache all down my right side. I'm managing running but nothing too strenuous. Press ups and planks are a painful no-no for now, though.

Only three of us managed 3 X 17 today, the effort is starting to take its toll. Longboat and myself admitting its getting hard, but no feedback from lise. Lets see who can do 3 X 18 tomorrow :-)

3X17 seemed a bit harder exflyboy , the last few were really hard !! I'm quite chuffed though, i read a few posts ago someone said that it was 48 for the day when they did 3*16.....i'd never thought of it like that so thats a nice wee boost! Keep it going folks :)

Morning all.

Well done Lise, Longboat and Exflyboy on the 17 and others that are still continuing.

Having had a nitemare journey to hotel yesterday i went to bed having not done my set. But at 11.15pm i got up and done them and so glad i did as really didn't want to miss a day.
Will have to do the 18s shortly as have a wedding today so i guess tonight will be out the question.

Looking good guys

Did 3 X 18 in 4 min 33 sec. That feels very close to my limit without a longer rest between sets. Last 5 were pretty tough. I think I said pretty much the same about 3 X 17 last night :-)

Milemonster you have pushed the bar a little higher, are you adding one more per set each day?

Well done all...great stuff. No progress from me yet.

About This Thread

Maintained by Dogtanian
Start on day 1 with 3 x 1 press up. On day 2 move to 3 x 2 and keep increasing by one every day. If you fail to do the target for the day then you try the same number the next day, only increasing when you have done the session properly. The Marathon talk challenge is to get to 3 x 100 push ups.

There are no real rules except all three sets must be done in the same session though. No going to wash your hair/walk the dog in-between sets:-).
