December rowathon - 5k every day in December

Post by Badabing2000 » November 15th, 2022, 6:53 am

In a possibly futile attempt to dust down the concept 2 and at best get some fitness back or - at worst - slow the usual December excess, I’ve decided to challenge myself to rowing 5k every day in December. Posting here to hold myself accountable. I’ve also set up a Facebook group too if anyone is interested. I know concept 2 run their own holiday challenge, but I like the idea of doing something everyday.


Anyone care to join me?

This sounds like a really good idea! How is it coming along?

I'm working through beginner pete plan (and posting updates in another thread), so not going to stick to 5k per day - but will indeed try to do a workout every day of December. So far so good, with a total of 71k in the first 10 days (so despite 2 days below your stated 5k the average makes up for it :P)

Cool idea! After December wraps up, you may be interested in Concept2 's January Revolution Challenge. It's a pick-your-own adventure style challenge, and two of the possible options are around consistency.
