There are just 13 weeks to go until several members of the Hensall team will put on their walking boots and tackle the 24-mile Y3P challenge in under 12 hours in a bid to raise £250,000 for Cancer Research UK.
Of course, 24 miles is a challenging task. With a lot of help from Francesca Nicholas RNutr PH BDA SCMA at Nutripath LTD, we’re getting stuck into the first month of our exercise plan.
For the first month, we’ve got three areas of focus:
🔴 Building our basic cardio fitness
🔴 Getting used to being in the hills and trekking across rocky ground
🔴 Resistance training
Our goal is to build up our endurance so that we can run 10km non-stop, at 10-minute miles, before the event.
Our aim is to improve our endurance so that we can run 10km non-stop at a pace of 10 minutes per mile before the event. For those of us new to running, we're starting with 3×1 mile routes, using a walk-run-walk method until we can run 1 mile continuously. Then, we will gradually increase the distance by 20% and adjust our training regimen accordingly.
If anyone in our network has taken part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, we'd greatly appreciate any advice or tips!

The countdown is on! Inspired by National Walking Month and fuelled by personal causes, in just 108 days, we’ll be taking part in the public sector Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge (Y3P).
On September 6th, a team of our staff will brave the 24-mile route in under 12 hours in a bid to collectively raise £250,000 for Cancer Research UK.
If you’re not familiar with it, Y3P takes you over 1585m of ascent across the Pennine range. We’ll be tackling the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough.
With a brisk 6am start in the Dales, it’s not a challenge for the faint-hearted, but we’re keen and ready nonetheless.
