Team FitFun fitness challenge for 2016


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, so in 2015 Team FitFun completed the 3 Peaks Challenge, scaling the heights of Britain?s highest peaks, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowden; travelling to the highlands of Scotland, Wales and the Lake District. This time round, Saturday 7th May 2016 will see the team exceed the limits of our Tough Mudder challenge of 2014, running 20 miles jam-packed with 200 obstacles at the Rat Race Weekender across the historical grounds of Burghley House, Stamford in Lincolnshire. The weekend also culminates with a killer after party, complete with a live music programme on a beautiful camp site.


Why not set yourself a fitness challenge for the year and join us....Please follow the link below for more info:

In January I posted an invite to join our FitFun Challenge for 2016; you can read about our success story here:

A massive thank you to our team who had to overcome a great deal to achieve this. We look forward to what next year's challenge will bring.

As one of the people who signed up to this challenge I can say how rewarding it was both from a physical challenge and a team building exercise. Darren and Ali set an outcome based plan that you could measure your progress against. We then met once a month for a two hour session to train together and form the team bond. In the end we were voluntarily meeting more than that to train together.


As for the actual challenge it was great fun and again Darren and Ali managed the team through every obstacle and mile. We even managed to 'go big' at the after party!

I know how much courage, hard work, physical and mental strength it requires to get ready for and complete such an event so I wanted to say a massive well done to each and every one of our team members for doing so. The last few months have been truly memorable. As a group we trained, shared and conquered as a team. The greater gains that come with the synergy of finishing what we started together are already so very apparent ? New friendships, Redefined limits and Greater self belief to mention but a few. Rat Race May 2016, Team FitFun!!!

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
