#30 – Plank Challenge for runners

The 30 day Plank Challenge

Today it is the final day of this challenge. So it was 120s or more.

I looked forward to found out how much I would be able on each plank.

So the goal for the Regular was more than 280s since that was my old PB on a similar challenge last year, we only did the Regular.

So how did it go

 

300s on the Regular 🙂 🙂 From time to time I had very shaking legs.

130s on the Reverse, I am tired in my calves after the 30K cross country race this weekend

130s on the Left, this time I did not look at the timer til it was 56s left out of 120s, it was a lot of roaring at the end to push through those extra 10s. It aches a lot in my upper arms

130s on the Right, here it was a lot of roaring at the end to also push through those extra 10s,  it ached a lot in my upper arms

120s Regular was ok, just some shaking of the legs

120s Reverse, it felt in my calves that I had been running a 30K cross country race the day before

The 30 day Plank Challenge

Yesterday it was a rest day.

Today I am back planking. The bar has been raised 🙂

90s Regular was not a problem at all, no shaking legs 🙂

90s Reverse was ok, some shaking legs

90s Left side was killing me literally, my right elbow was in agony

90s Right side was killing me also literally, my left elbow was in agony

I think that I need to get outside and do the Left and Right side on the grass, not very good to do them on a hard wood floor
