Gyms have been closed for more than a month and I miss my weekly boxfit and HIIT classes to work up a sweat.

I decided to mix it up a bit and I registered for the May50k MS challenge and the Headspace 3046 pushup challenge. I raised about $600 between the two challenges to worthy causes but it also meant that last month I did 3046 pushups in 21 days and ran over 150km.

OK I might have hobbled the last 20km as my ankle was a bit shot and it’s getting a bit cold outside.

The challenge kept me interested and got me out of the house for the runs. At the same time I wonder if I lived in the city or a place in total lockdown like Wuhan if I could have run around a tiny apartment for 150km worth?!

Some days I like the routine but other days you HAVE to mix it up to keep it interesting and get out of your comfort zone.

I’m hibernating for the winter to weigh up my options, but what are you going to do to get out of your comfort zone post lockdown?
