The Pretend Fitness 2 - the Turkish Get Up Thread

Will any of you attempt a Turkish get up in 2024

Thats the one. April is a decent month for it. Looking to go the middle distance

I’ll go the full whack if I do it. I’m too cheap and like getting value for money :rofl:

There’s an IMRA trail race in Howth in Jan/Feb. That’ll be close to you and be good to get you tuned up.

Got a link?

PS do the full. You might as a we’ll be miserable for 5 hours as opposed to 3.

5 hours? Fucking hell…
Its more the amount of times id have to stop and run. 3 is enough thanks.

I said it’s a nice little workout, not completely bolloxed. Grand way to get your heart rate up and burn a few calories in a social setting

Ah I’d say the long there would be less than that. I must check the finishing times to see what’s near the last places :rofl:

Its huge in the US

This fella pushed me to the limit in my little exercise routine this morning, what a gem.

The scales in the gym more or less warned me that I could get poached for ivory.

Never get between me and the river. That’s all I’m saying

Back to it tomorrow.

Great to see the gym full of the regulars today. Was half expecting and looking forward to an emptyish gym but was an added motivation seeing plenty others getting after it, including one very big lad who I’ve never seen in the gym before but he was giving it socks. Hope he keeps it up.

Absolutely flaaad after a good pull session. Binge eating shite and and binge drinking would fair knock it out of ya.

I half guessed it by the elevation profile there. Up and down from the car park?
