Nellers Jun 2020 10:37am, 12 Jun 2020 36,493 posts	0 Nellers I forgot to post my update: After a circuit session on Wednesday morning I did 5 minutes of skipping during which I set an annoyingly-close-to-a-century new PB of 98. 200 is brilliant UC. Jennyh, I find that some days it clicks and some days it just doesn't. Don't be so hard on yourself. With continued practice I'm sure we'll get more consistent.

Silvershadow Jun 2020 11:04am, 12 Jun 2020 1,480 posts	0 Silvershadow I have to admit that I carried on with the challenge after day 30 for a bit but having moved on to a new challenge for June and the lake re-opening for swimming I have dropped the daily skip. I haven't skipped for 4 days. I'll get out in the garden later if the rain holds off.

jennyh Jun 2020 11:51am, 12 Jun 2020 4,479 posts	0 jennyh Well done Nellers! It’s so frustrating falling just short of 100 - it took me a few goes to get to 100, I did get up to 118 unbroken skips a week or so ago. I think you’re right, some days are easier than others. Cheers Rrunner, will check out the Garmin app later
Nellers Aug 2020 12:23pm, 14 Aug 2020 36,985 posts	0 Nellers Picked up my skipping rope for the first time in a while on Wednesday and knocked out 100 unbroken. Not sure how but I did it. This was basically done to test the skipping function on my new watch, which miscounted and I can't yet work out how to calibrate it properly.
LindsD Aug 2020 2:47pm, 17 Aug 2020 39,812 posts	0 LindsD Sorry in advance - I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I find myself in quarantine with no possibility of running or swimming for 14 days and am thinking of buying a skipping rope. We have several at home but I'm at my Mum's. Any tips or recommendations?

LindsD Aug 2020 10:33am, 27 Aug 2020 40,116 posts	0 LindsD I'm on day 4 of a random 30 day skipping challenge and really enjoying it. I hated the first two days, but since yesterday it seems to have clicked with me.
