Galway-based personal trainer Pat Divilly has put together a team of 520 with the aim of raising €100,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and Cystic Fibrosis Galway Hospital Project, and he has kindly come up with a handy four week training programme to make the day a little easier.
Training four weeks out (to be done three times over a week):
2km run to start: Go at your own pace. Look to do it on soft ground
Shuttle runs: 5m and back, 10m and back, 15m and back, 20m and back. One minute break and repeat 6 times
40m lunge walk: Or 20 lunges off each leg. Repeat for 3 sets with a minute break between sets
Pull ups: 5 sets of 5 or 3 x 60 second holds
And to finish… A full body stretch and some foam rolling
