Two Minutes to Win It! April's Monthly Challenge

Welcome to the April Challenge Event! Every month we focus on a few key things to keep us motivated throughout the month. This month we are gearing up for many amazing races, Run the Bluegrass, Ragnar, Derby Half-Marathon/Marathon and many more. Although Derby isn’t until May, it’s also time to get ready for the fastest two minutes in sports. So ladies, it’s time to see what you can do in two minutes!!! Select a few exercises from the list below and as many days per week complete as many repetitions as you can in two minutes. If you are not able to complete the exercise for the full two minutes, take rest breaks as needed. The ultimate goal is to improve the number of repetitions over the course of the month. Also look at your current training plan/calendar and estimate your miles for the month. Set a mileage goal, DECLARE IT, and crush it! 

This month we will use the same format for posting mileage: daily miles/total goal miles.
Feel free to post when you successfully complete your strength exercises. We suggest posting progress at least once per week, in the following format:

Week 1: Push ups – 6; Crunches – 27; Squats – 35
Week 2: Push ups – 8; Crunches – 35; Squats – 40
Week 3: Push ups – 10; Crunches – 40; Squats – 43

Options for exercises (feel free to select other exercises):
Push-ups, Crunches/Sit-ups/In & Outs, Pull-ups, Burpees, Squats, Lunges, Planks, etc...

Please remember, we encourage you to post your workouts and progress for accountability and encouragement in our Facebook event page. We excel at encouraging and motivating runners of ALL LEVELS. Although it can be challenging, try not to compare your journey to other runners. The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.
