Welcome to the second series of Challenge Accepted - the series where we let YOU, the Running Channel viewers, decide which challenge we should take on, as we go head-to-head for the ultimate prize - bragging rights!
In this series, we’ll be calling on an all-star cast of runners who will be going up against The Running Channel presenters and first up, it’s endurance runner Susie Chan who’s taking on the BACKWARDS RUNNING challenge against Anna, Rick, Kate and Andy. And of course, it wouldn’t be Challenge Accepted without a sneaky little twist to the task. Who will be victorious? Make your predictions in the comments below ↓↓

It would have to be Claire Maxted, but unfortunately that doesn't look possible unless you can get one done by Wednesday! How about a 5km handicapped by age grading?

@LisaHikes 3 жыл бұрын

Run a 5k in unfamiliar roads/trails, without mapping a route ahead of time, nor looking at your watch. Estimate how far you've gone solely on time elapsed 😎

@TonyBarclayNI 3 жыл бұрын

Whilst I cannot suggest an individual, perhaps an unusual challenge (like the backwards run): I am a visually impaired runner, why not try a 5k... blindfolded, guided by another runner, on streets/trails (NOT track, too easy), using a tether? I run ultras on road and trail, with around 4% vision (none in bright light) - I challenge the team to try it.

My challenge suggestion is 'parkrunception'. Did this two weeks ago, you start running on one parkrun course, leave the course at a point of your choosing, run to another parkrun course, complete that course and then return and complete the first course. I call it parkrunception as it is a parkrun within a parkrun.

Wow Colin, that sounds like a long run! Presumably you'd need two parkrun courses quite close to each other?

Use glycerin 16. 2 pair’s alternating. Looking for a new pair of shoes for everyday running and maybe that has a bit of speed. I run about 5K twice a week. Best time 5K sub 25 min and 10k sub 50mins and half marathon sub 2 hours. Any suggestion for what might be a good shoe for the likes of people like me.

I ran a half marathon completely backwards. Long story but I got plantar fasciitis and I couldn't run forward, and I had already registered for the race, so ran the entire race BACKWARDS.

Why not do a proper 10km race, but make it a handicap race where the start time is based on each presenter’s PB this year. So for example Andy might have to start 15 minutes after Anna if that is the difference in their PB. It could be really exciting to see them all trying to run down, or hold off the others to see who would win.

Next time you all want a challenge accepted idea - I have some thoughts for a blind running challenge. (Please don’t run with this idea without expert support) but it would be a really cool awareness raiser for the need of guide runners to facilitate blind people running in their local park runs or personal training plans. Looks like challenge accepted has waned but if you bring it back hit me up for a video on this.
