I was just looking through some old posts and spotted one from 2011 about a 5000m metre challenge and how hard it was. I just looked at my Strava data to see how I have been doing recently and was surprised at how much climb I am logging each month: Oct 15 4558m Nov 15 4281m Jan 16 6696m Feb 16 4317m Mar 16 5609m Apr 16 2827m May 16 6461m So with a few days to go until the end of May I can get my new record for climb in one month!

Last time I actively tracked my press-up ability I eventually got to 45 press-ups to exhaustion, back in December 2011. I just thought I'd have a go to see what I could do, and achieved 32 straight off, then a 5 minute break and another 32 which was to exhaustion. Then took a 10 min break and did another 30. 94 total straight off not too bad. See how many I can do to exhaustion tomorrow.

I have recently run a few races and got some PBs. I ran the Rainow 5 in 42:24 which was a few minutes off my PB set in 2012. Here are some charts to show for other races:
