Whilst I cannot suggest an individual, perhaps an unusual challenge (like the backwards run): I am a visually impaired runner, why not try a 5k... blindfolded, guided by another runner, on streets/trails (NOT track, too easy), using a tether? I run ultras on road and trail, with around 4% vision (none in bright light) - I challenge the team to try it.

My challenge suggestion is 'parkrunception'. Did this two weeks ago, you start running on one parkrun course, leave the course at a point of your choosing, run to another parkrun course, complete that course and then return and complete the first course. I call it parkrunception as it is a parkrun within a parkrun.

Idea for fellow runners.Love your channel and honest reviews. I was wondering if you can help. I am 46 with lots of injuries in the past but started road running 2 years ago. Use glycerin 16. 2 pair’s alternating. Looking for a new pair of shoes for everyday running and maybe that has a bit of speed. I run about 5K twice a week. Best time 5K sub 25 min and 10k sub 50mins and half marathon sub 2 hours. Any suggestion for what might be a good shoe for the likes of people like me.

How about a 5K run, but each K has to have a negative split. Each kilometre gets slightly faster than the previous. It could be faster by just 1 second per mile, or faster by 30 seconds. No matter how small the margin of increase is, it still counts. The person who gains the most negative time wins?

(Please don’t run with this idea without expert support) but it would be a really cool awareness raiser for the need of guide runners to facilitate blind people running in their local park runs or personal training plans. Looks like challenge accepted has waned but if you bring it back hit me up for a video on this.

Why not do a proper 10km race, but make it a handicap race where the start time is based on each presenter’s PB this year. So for example Andy might have to start 15 minutes after Anna if that is the difference in their PB. It could be really exciting to see them all trying to run down, or hold off the others to see who would win.
