View FLASHmob Fitness starts here in a larger map
What:
Super short notice for this one, I know. But we are trying out a new part of the Broughton estate today and it involves crossing the river, so make sure you bring a spare pair of trainers/socks/trousers etc! Because you know there wont be any kind of bridge involved.
And Im not sure why I’m including it this time, but here is the weather forecast. Not much point because you are going to get wet anyway…

Upcoming events: Born Survivor – 21st Sept.
http://www.born-survivor.com/images/home/JCK_9905.jpg
September is going tyo be a big month for us, with plenty of fun and games. Not least of which is happening on September 21st…I’m talking about Born Survivor!
“BORN SURVIVOR is a Military Assault Course themed event, designed by members of the elite corps of Mountain and Artic Warfare specialists of the Royal Marine Commandos. Our courses give you the chance to test your all round fitness, mental determination and team work against the same type of challenges and standards as the British Army. You will have to overcome authentic military style obstacles, some special ‘survivor surprises’, muscle draining mud, rugged terrain, baltic river crossings and your own self doubt to be a SURVIVOR.”
On September 21st, we will all be taking our team and travelling up to Lowther Castle for a killer 10km (ish)…and I can’t wait! It looks like it will be using the natural terrain as much as possible, including 1,000ft ascent, multiple river crossings and bogs.
The bit I am especially looking forward to is the “Killer K”…described as 10 obsticles in 1km. So as soon as you have covered one, you’re faced with another…and another…and yet another! Love it 
Personally, I bloody hate running. As far as I can see, it’s only good to get me to the next interesting bit on the map as quickly as possible. So the prospect of lots of interesting bits and not much running is filling me with such joy!
Also, I was having a great chat with the guy in charge the other week (he sounds a top bloke, and my sister knows him from way back and insists he is a top bloke!) and he was giving me a sneaky heads up on some of the obstacles. A couple of which are the sort I have never encountered before in any of the events I have done…truly original.
We got a team entered already (go Faceplanters!), so join us in Cumbria if you dare! Give us a wave if you spot us there.

When:
Saturday 8th June, 10am
Where:
Meeting at the UTOPIA car park at Broughton Hall.
What:
A lot of us are entering various events in the coming year (click here for details). And with Tough Mudder being held on our Broughton Hall training ground this year (click here for details) it sounds like an excellent idea to train up specifically for these kind of outdoor events.
Are you entering Tough Mudder this year? Or any events like it? See if your training is actually helping you get ready.
Each month, we will run consistant fitness assessments to measure your fitness, stamina, strength, endurance and mental ability to get stuck in there! This is the second of these assessments! These tests will measure the skills you will need to complete outdoor events like Tough Mudder. Not only that, but they will be a bloody good workout in their own right! So start practicing the essential skills that will get you through these events…
- Pressups
- Situps
- Burpees
- Inverted rows
- Crawling
- Sprinting

Upcoming Events: 2.8 Hours Later.
http://reesfitness.co.uk/sites/default/files/images/2_8HoursLogo.jpg
As you can see from the Upcoming Events page, we are going to be playing 2.8 Hours Later! What the hell is it, I hear you cry! Well, their website says this:
“It is an adrenaline fuelled cinematic experience like no other, catapulting you to the heart of the zombie action. You will make choices and sacrifices that {will} determine whether you and your friends survive. Honed by the latest bio-technology and a year in the making, Asylum is the only street game of it’s size and reputation in the world.
A Politically charged, gore filled, roller coaster ride of fear that will thrill newcomers and fans alike. Come Play.”
We played it last year in Manchester, so here is my description of it: a hybrib mashup of a treasure hunt, while being chased by zombies. Oh, and did I mention it is an absolute riot of fun?!
We rocked up at an old, derelict warehouse in the dark shades of the city, where the game begins. You play in groups of up to 8 people, get given a simple map of the city and told to go to your next grid reference. Your job is to survive the next 2.8 hours, as you attempt to make your way through the zombie apocolypse. You will meet survivors of the zombie plauge who will help you, but also victims!
These victims will chase you, screaming, covered in blood and gore through the buildings, streets and allyways. Your job is to avoid getting caught and “infected” by the brain eating living dead until you reach the safety of the zombie disco and bar at the end.
My favorite bits from the Manchester game was sprinting flat out down the middle of the shopping district, chased by blood soaked zombies, while the general public carried on shopping around us. Loved it! It certainly gets your heart racing!
So sign up, bring your running shoes and be prepared for a chase for your life! We are probably going to do the Leeds game on the Saturday. If you want to be in our gang of up to 8, contact me. Otherwise, gather some friends together and sign up yourself. Trust me, it is worth it!
