Give me some ideas for fitness challenges please :-) (marathons etc)

Hi guys,

Can anyone share some interesting fitness challenges to take up or target as a goal?

I've done a marathon so I don't want to do it again because I've done it.

Are there any other fitness challenges that target endurance, strength etc?

I am aware of Tough Mudder but looking for more options.

Thanks :)

    What about a triathlon? I've always wanted to do a triathlon, even if its a smaller one as I couldn't do the ones like the ones on the olympics

    someone I know is attempting to go 2014 miles under their own steam this year (bike, swim, run etc) and is totting up the miles as she works out.

    Personally I think she's bonkers.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Do you cycle? You could attempt a sportive or one of the classic long distance rides like London to Brighton.

    Lots to do out there.

    London to brighton is good fun, isn't there a london to Paris as well?

    Coast to coast. That makes for a great holiday too. We did it a few years ago, decide how long you want it to take then plot your stops, carry your stuff on your back, great fun.

    I'm doing my first tri in May, that has been a good goal to work towards.
