On another lovely evening for running we welcomed Rati to GoodGym for the first time, we also had Lisa visit us from GG Barnet and had Annie back with us for the first time in a while, so it was great to have you all part of the run.
We set off on the short journey to Suited for Success, Tom and Liam taking up the front runner role and George the back stop. On arrival, we gave our donations and Tomas showed the Suited for Success first timers around. Then the task was sorting gillets and jumpers into size order, as you can see there was plenty of sorting to be done, the team doing a fantastic job.
Once done we headed to the canal bridges to do some hill interval work. The challenge was three times three minute efforts, running up a bridge hard, across the top hard, then down and on the flat easy, before running up the next bridge hard! Three minutes of that is pretty tough, especially with only one minute rest between each set! Anyway Tom shot off running a great session, John ‘fresh' from his exploits at the London 10,000m yesterday wasn’t far behind along with Liam. Will showed great form on those hills. Morwenna and Laura pulled each other along putting in some great work. Lisa was excellent on her first GG Brum workout. Rati worked hard all the way to the end of each repetition, putting in a sterling effort, but as ever I could mention everyone as the whole group were fantastic, pulling each other a long and with an added bonus of no bother from those pesky geese!
Once done it was just a mile run back to 1000 Trades and that was us done for another week.
Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
