A light in the dark
15 GoodGymers made their way 7.0km to help their local community in Tower Hamlets.
- Monday, 12th of October 2015
- Led by Laura Williams
15 Runners headed out from the Town Hall Hotel (this week using their spa and swimming pool as a base!) for the short jog over to Hollybush Estate. Afer a series of active stretches and warm up drills we met up with Michael and Margaret who led us into the dark of the estate garden where we spent 30 minutes shifting composted, raking leaves and creating a new flower bed under the bright lights of two head torches and one iphone (other brands also have torches).
After the task we headed off on a 1.5km run to London Fields via a short sprint along Broadway Market. When in the park Tom set us off on a series of short 'pyramid intervals' - 2 minutes fast, 1 minute faster, 30 seconds very fast with minimal lung recovery time in between.
After we have hammered around the park several times we headed back to base for a stretch and to retrieve our bags from our luxurious temporary home.
