A huge welcome to new runners:
GIVE EM A CHEER!
This week we were back at Heeley People's Park, but at a different part of the park this week.
On arrival AMAZING ANDY & RADIANT ROB gave us an overview of the People's Park and the task we would be helping them with this week including;
- Chopping back the overgrown hedges
- Composting the leaves and cuttings (leaf it out mate!)
- Litter picking
The teams got straight to it, getting right to the root of the issues.
After a huge effort by all we used the triangular shaped space for a bit of fartlek circuit training with various speeds on each straight edge of the triangle along with a multitude of exercise on each round inc;
- V-Up's
- Burpees
- Curtsy Lunges
- Crab toe touches
- Plank
- Clock Lunge
- Tuck Jump
- Star Jump
- Inch Worm
- Divebomb push ups
After posing for a photo and getting a huge thank from Andy we set off for home with some extra loops chucked in on route, then stretched off back at base where we gave a huge round of applause to Sarah for completing the London Marathon on Sunday!
We also heard from Jawad, who joined us on the road and also told us all about Small Park, Big Run in June which we will be doing our best to get our runners involved and to help spread the word - details in photos.
Until next time, happy running!
