Winds of cha(lle)nge

Welcome back after a somewhat nice and long break! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :)

And here we go again ... New Year, new resolutions, new challenges ... HA! That's what it's all going to be about today. Having discussed all this in the studio extensively in the run up to Christmas we have decided to take part in the Step Change and run up the City's mighty Gherkin. That's 38 floors, 1037 steps right up to the top! Crazy you might think, but hell no! It's all in a good cause. We are raising money for charity - the Child's Voice Appeal. The event is taking place on the 7th of February and we are all in the process of getting ready for it. We need to raise £1.5 per step to hit our target so dig deep and help us get there. Here's our donation web link:

Big THANK YOUS go to all of you in advance!!!

And now watch this space as we have something ready for you too. We have planned two hiking/trekking events for this year that you can all get involved in.

We are hitting the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in the third weekend of May. Leaving London on the 14th to have a good night sleep before trekking the hills on Saturday. This should take about 8 hours before we can retire to a pub to have a pint (of water of course!). We shall be returning to London on Sunday 16th.

As we return from the Yorkshire adventures we start training for the next event which will take place in July (the weekend of either 9th or 16th ). This will be the 3 National Peaks Challenge. Flying up to Glasgow on Friday night we will hit Ben Nevis (1344m) early Saturday morning, then catch a coach to Skafell Pike (987m) followed trek up Mount Snowdon (1085m). Again well deserved rest in a nice pub somewhere to re-hydrate our tired bodies. Coming back to London on Sunday.

Both hiking challenges are open to all of you who are training with us here at ONE Training so if you are interested give us a shout and speak to your trainer to get involved. More details will follow soon.

Get those boots out and let's get walking!!!
