WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Next weekend, on July 27, 24-year-old Natalie Noble will be attempting to do the most pull-ups completed by a woman in a 24-hour period.

Noble, a trainer at Flight House Gym in Rye, NH, set this goal for herself over 9 months ago. She said that while doing pull-ups, she kept “hitting a wall…” meaning she could not get past her current pull-up numbers.

She stopped seeing progress.

Frustrated with her progression, she decided to set a goal for herself.

By the time she turns 25, which will be on July 27, 2024, she wants to be a Guinness World Record holder for the most pull-ups completed by a woman in a 24-hour period.

The current record for this exhausting task is 4,081 pull-ups.

Natalie Noble’s goal: 4,300 (or so). Noble does not want to beat the record…she wants to blow it out of the water and keep the title in NH for a long time.

So Noble has 24 hours to complete over 4,081 pull-ups…what about sleep? Food? What is the schedule or plan?

According to Noble, no sleep. Flight House Gym in Rye, NH (who is hosting) is planning on staying open for 24 hours to allow Noble to accomplish this feat.

Instead of doing as many as she can on the 27th, then sleeping, and cranking out a few more on the 28th, Noble is going for a different approach: The EMOM approach.

EMOM stands for every minute on the minute. So Noble will begin her first few hours by tackling 5 pull-ups every minute on the minute. After a few hours at that pace, her body will certainly begin to feel it.

Her plan is to switch to 3 pull-ups every minute on the minute after a few hours of the 5 pull-up pace.

So her 24-hour window will be very scheduled. She’ll crank out 3-5 pull-ups at the beginning of every minute. Then she’ll rest for about 45-55 seconds.

Then she’ll repeat that 1,440 times.

Again, this WORLD RECORD attempt is taking place at Flight House Gym in Rye, NH from noon-time on July 17 to noon-time on July 28th.

We cannot wait for Natalie Noble to bring this Guinness World Record home to New Hampshire.

Go get that goal and go get that record, Nat!

BOW, NH — Great teachers matter. In Bow, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Matthew Fisk.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Amy Altman, who nominated Matthew Fisk of Bow.

How do you know the teacher?

Matt is the Bow High School principal, where my son graduated and my daughter currently attends.

What does this person teach?

Matt was a history teacher turned high school principal.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

I believe that Matt should be recognized for the energy and commitment he brings to his role as a leader and for the compassion he shows each student, teacher, and staff member.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Matt is a super history geek and always has a great dad-joke up his sleeve!

Nine separate car crashes over the past weekend killed 10 people across New Hampshire, state officials say. The causes of each crash are currently under investigation by state law enforcement agencies.

In a statement released Tuesday, New Hampshire Department of Safety (NHDS) Assistant Commissioner Eddie Edwards says the crashes could have been prevented by “better decision making.” He’s asking all residents and visitors to abide by posted speed limits, put their cell phones away, and to not drive under the influence. 

The @NH_OHS is asking all drivers in New Hampshire to rethink their driving habits after nine crashes in four days resulted in 10 deaths.

“What’s happening on our roads is alarming and has resulted in tragic consequences,” Edwards said in the statement. 

From July 12 to July 15, 10 people died in nine crashes in the state.

Edwards confirmed the fatal crashes took place in Alton, Belmont, Center Conway, Concord, Gilford, Hampton Falls, Jaffrey, and Loudon. 

State Police Colonel Mark Hall says his department and the NHDS will increase their presence on major state arteries and highways. 

“Let’s work together to make our roads safer for everyone,” Hall said in a statement. He says he encourages drivers to “do their part” in maintaining safe roads.

The NDHS says 64 people were killed by a car crash in New Hampshire this year. A report from the New Hampshire Highway Safety Improvement Program noted a drastic increase in crash-related fatalities in recent years, jumping from 100 in 2019 to 146 in 2022.
