Congratulations Peter H – Gold medallist of the Pentathlon challenge 2024

Congratulations to all participants in the C-Life Pentathlon Challenge! Your dedication and hard work have truly shone through, showcasing a diverse range of fitness skills and perseverance.  

Special recognition goes to our Pentathlon Challenge winner, Peter H, who has excelled across all aspects of the competition. We asked him a couple of questions, to gain insight into his strategic approach and his advice to others.   

Can you share any specific strategies or routines that helped you succeed in the challenge? 

Whilst completing all the heats, I ensured breathing technique was controlled, focusing on slow, controlled breaths rather than rapid, shallowing breathing. This was important for heats such as the 50-floor stair master and the 1.5km run.  

I also tried to keep a positive mindset throughout, trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

What advice would you give to someone considering taking on a similar challenge? 

Difficult challenges such as the Pentathlon require lots of endurance. It is important to always keep going and remain in a good headspace, focusing on the goal ahead. This helped me push past my limits and never giving up, despite the struggles presented. Ultimately, this challenge was rewarding in many ways, and I recommend everyone give future challenges like this a crack!
