Weighted Weekly Distance Accumulator
Inspired by the final 70km endurance march of selection, participants must select their target distance from the list below and then accumulate that target by walking, marching or running within 7 days of starting. You can take as many separate workouts across the 7. days as you like to accumulate the distance, however, more bonus points will be awarded for the fewer number of workouts.
Should you want to take the challenge up a notch, and further emulate the Danish Frogman selection test, you can complete the challenge whilst bearing a voluntary load of 10kg - bagging yourself some extra bonus points in the process!
Select your distance:
Level 1
16km (10 miles)
Level 2
34km (21 miles)
Level 3
52km (32 miles)
Level 4
70km (43 miles)
Submit each individual workout separately
You must submit each individual workout to the submission form separately.
Use a weighted gym-sandbag, weighted vest or weighted rucksack
Feel free to use whatever weight you like, however, we recommend the options above. Something with good padding is also recommended.
2.5% Treadmill gradient
It is preferred that you attempt this challenge outside, however, if you are unable to do so and must use a treadmill, the gradient of the treadmill must be set at 2.5%.
Eg: Strava, Garmin, Fitbit...
To evidence the weight of your carried object, you must take submit a photo of the weight on some scales.
