Tague’s Ten K Challenge

Alright everyone,

 

Two years ago marked the second time I got to point I couldn’t see how I was ever meant for this world and tried to take my own life. Making it very public I needed help, 299 of you lot reached out to help me get to where I am today and I can never repay you all like I wish I could. Met many new people since that I imagine would offer the same. So instead I’ll just ask you all for some more help instead. I imagine lockdown and 2020 has been incredibly difficult for a lot of people and so I figured Id raise money for those helping people struggling now, and in honour of all of you. A way to repay you by passing on what you did for me.

 

The challenge:

Every weekday of January 10k Run, 10k Bike (the first Sat & Sun will be a weekday)

Throughout the month 10,000 Press ups, 10,000 Sit ups



Obviously this part is now not possibly due to lockdown, will complete this later once I can instead see below

(Second Saturday or Sunday Ascent Scarfell Pike

Third Saturday or Sunday Ascent Snowdon

Fourth Saturday or Sunday Ascent Ben Nevis

Fifth Saturday Attempt The Pen y Fan Dance (the final stage of SAS selection, a 24k forced load bearing speed march traversing Pen y Fan & descending Jacobs Ladder, selection time rumoured at 4 hours 10 Minutes))

The replacements are as follows

Second Saturday... Half Marathon (Complete)

Third Saturday... Marathon (Complete)

Fourth Saturday... (Mini) Ultra Marathon (Complete)

Fifth Saturday.... TBC

 

Here is the deal, you donate the price of a pint and if I fail ill buy you a pint next time i see you, can’t say fairer than that (That’s £3.50 if you’re in the North, £5 for you Southerners). I know you’ve all just been paid and cant go to the pub so… However those that are skint please PM me you’d like to donate and ill put in the pint money for you.

 

The money will go to MIND.

 

It was originally meant to be February this but with the latest announcement I brought it forward. 

 

230k Run

230k Bike

10,000 Press Ups

10,000 Sit Ups

(14,093 feet Ascent + the extra KMs) or alternatives

 

I would love as many different people to join me on different bits as possible – message me or comment below when you can meet up and for which part you’d’ like to join and we can arrange a meet up either at park or over Zoom

 

If you made it this far then you may as well share this for me – friends, colleagues etc, I offer them the same pint deal. Please share with your New Years friends and remember me when you getting up 1st January hungover when I’m out running – ill be posting updates regularly.

 

Everyone has a place in this world
