Simply put, you follow the training program with an aim of doing 100 pushups in one go at the end. In our case, we seem to have settled on a slightly less intimidating target - whoever does the most on May 18th, wins.
There's mitigating circumstances, and I'm getting my excuses in early - I cracked a rib playing football a couple of weeks ago - but P Biddy has even beaten me in those stakes:
if I'm starting w/a chronic autoimmune disorder that has put me in a wheelchair, I think you can start w/a broken rib!
- and besides, I'm in, I can't back out now.
Apparently videos are required. This perturbs me. But in for a penny, in for a pound, and all that. I also feel like there's an inexorable link between Brits Doing Dumb Challenges and charity, so for every push up I do on the 18th, I'll donate a pound to .... erm, a charity I haven't decided upon yet.
Candidates that spring to mind are:
- Marie Curie cancer care
- CHANCE
- Shelter
- ...?
All suggestions welcome. Wish me luck!

Ha! I have thoracic outlet syndrome on my right side! Excuses, excuses...
Thoracic outlet syndrome, meet ankylosing spondlitis!
Update - I chose Cancer Research. It's something that will affect 1 in 3 of us at some point, and investing in research is the only way to make any progress.

Some high stakes you've set for yourself. Good luck with it.
