With the launch of the national 2.6 Challenge on Sunday 26th April, here is what some of the NECCR team are getting up to.
Carrie is cycling indoors at home on her turbo trainer doing 26 laps of a popular Zwift route which is 2.6 miles long… other members of her family are learning to say HELLO in 26 different languages and climbing 62 flights of stairs in 26 minutes!
Event’s Manager Abigail is really missing the busy-ness of organising the children’s cancer run so instead is rising to the 2.6 Challenge in organising “Operation Jolly Roger” – a 26 stage pirate-y obstacle and activity course at home for her whole family to ultimately find the hidden treasure! Arrrrgh me hearties!
Jennie has come up with so many challenge ideas for the whole family, including her dog Wiggins who has to complete 26 tennis ball catches! Jennie’s activities also include a 26 minute workout for her son Tom, trying to stop a digital stopwatch on 2.6 seconds (SO addictive!) and a family challenge to eat a digestive biscuit in 2.6 seconds … the possibilities are endless!
Heather is going to undertake 26 activities over 2.6 weeks, starting with a list of 10 and challenging her friends to come up with extra ideas… she’s hoping that they will be kind! Heather’s starter activities will be shooting 26 goals of the netball post in succession, doing 26 minutes of PE With Joe, baking 26 biscuits with her girls and potting up 26 plants for the garden.
