A new year tree-at!

During today's starter session, 4 amazing goodgymmers ran 2km and helped out at Christ the Saviour Parish Church!

It was rather a grey day but that didn't stop Angel and Hannah from coming along for their first ever session! Amazing work ladies!

We started with a (very!) short jog next door to CSP Church where we were greeted with a smile from Tracey and we got to work. We helped take down their beautiful, real Christmas trees! And, Christmas trees being Christmas trees, taking off the lights was a mission in detangling and team work! We had the lovely Tracey and a couple more helpers from the church too and in no time we had removed all baubles and were deadlifting the trees outside...you folks are strong! This also involved some skilled manoeuvring to get it in and out of the doors but hey, all in a days work for team Ealing!

And then it was on to the running!! We headed off to Walpole park, quite a glorious park with a good 0.8mile/1.3km loop to run around. We did a good slow warm up before starting a run-walk programme taking a minute to run and minute to rest each time. This is such a good way of training for all levels to increase your running fitness and distance.

Then, after a quick photo op it was back to Bodyline Studio for some stretches and a nice cool down. It was an amazing morning and it was so great to meet such lovely people who are so keen to get back into their running! Keep up the great work ladies and see you very soon!!
