Initiate Strength & Conditioning

24-HOUR SKI COMPLETE

What an incredible achievement from four of the most mentally resilient lads you could ever meet.

- Total distance - 364,584m, with an average pace of 1:58:5 held (smashing their goal of 2:00)
- British and (unofficial) world record for a team of four

A huge thank you to everyone who came by throughout the 24 hours to support the boys, cheer them on, and train alongside them. Special thanks also to Rob Dobbs for helping out with equipment and providing massages at the halfway point. We really do have an incredible community here, and events like this are a perfect way to showcase that.

The fundraiser was chosen in honour of coach Steffan and member Katie’s grandfather, who recently sadly passed away from a heart-related condition. A lovely way to honour his memory, with all funds raised going to the British Heart Foundation. So far they have raised over £1,660 - and there’s still plenty of time to contribute to the fundraiser.

After the success of last years 24-hour rowing challenge which raised £1835 for Ysgol Hen Felin, the boys are back at it again.

As of 11am today, Adam, Owen, Sean and Steffan are starting their new 24-hour challenge, this time on the ski erg. With one of their team skiing at all times, they’re aiming to cover over 300km across the full 24 hours.

We will be hosting a 7pm class this evening, open to members and drop ins, to keep the energy high and keep a crowd around to cheer the boys into the night. Don’t worry - there won’t be any ski ergs involved in the workout because who would actually choose to ski for fun? Oh… right… uhhhhh… Anyway, what better way is there to spend 7pm on a Saturday night?

Following the recent loss for one of the team of a close family member to a heart-related condition, all funds raised will go to the British Heart Foundation. Here is the link for donations:
