Harrogate man set for gruelling 10-hour challenge for mental health charity

Thursday, 9 May 2024 12:28

Harrogate's Tom Seed.

A Harrogate resident is set to take on 20 miles, 1,000 pull-ups, 2,000 push-ups and 3,000 air squats in ten hours for charity.

Tom Seed will be taking on the epic fundraising challenge in just 10 hours on Saturday 25th May.

It’s to fundraise for mental health charity MIND and takes place during Mental Health Awareness Week.

Each hour, on the hour, Tom will perform what is known in the CrossFit world as “Murph”: a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats and a further 1 mile run.

The rest of the hour will be for rest and preparing for the next round.

Taking part

Tom and the team at Eleven Eleven are inviting people to join them.

They’re encouraging residents of Harrogate and local areas to come down for the day to show their support by taking on one of the workouts.

Those who attend will also be given one free workout at Eleven Eleven any time in the following two weeks.

Workouts are scalable for all levels of fitness and people are encouraged to book a slot.

If you’d like to take part, email Kelly on support@elevenelevensportsperformance.com or WhatsApp on 07985 716167 ahead of the day to secure your space.

If you can’t attend a workout but you’d like to support Tom on his epic challenge, you can donate to Mind here.
