Skeleton service running yesterday, partly down to heavy rain forecasted and a task cancellation. Those who rolled up, made up for it in effort and chat; as we discussed - being cruel to be kind. Stern words for sartorial flair at the workplace, a gift of deodorant for your beautiful but aromatic amiga, white lies for your ex, sleep training tough love for your little one, and dental trickery to smooth over a little needle action.

We picked ourselves up and headed over to Three Mills Green, after some early discussions about the lack of light there, but it worked out well. A solid warm-up saw the team do various drills to prepare for the session ahead, including some team synchronisation and skips you didn't know you needed.

The progressive reps of the park worked a treat, a loop we'll come back to soon. Think everyone got a dose of speed, that should pick up their easy running. The key to this session is patience and control, times saved and expect a repeat in the coming weeks.

Next week's session should be up shortly, still lining up the next block of sessions.

Have a cracking weekend as the mercury drops, but the sun shines.

Till next week,

B
