With plan A unfortunately not quite coming together, the start of the Great British Spring Clean this past weekend gave us a suitable plan B - plogging! For those not up-to-date with the latest lingo, plogging is a term that recently came over from Sweden and is all about running combined with picking up litter. In other words, something Goodgym has been doing for years! #trendsetters

Since the mission on Saturday morning (see report here) meant the Green & main road had been looked after already, we targeted the different areas around Wanstead tube station and up the high street where we have been assisting Marion with creating & planting & maintenance. Disappointingly it didn't turn out that difficult to fill up another bin bag with wrappers & cans & beer bottles and even the odd car wheel cover... With trainer James occupied elsewhere, the usual post task run was swapped for a little HIIT session, all part of the training plan!

Next week we plan on visiting the Forest Recycling Project, so please do not wear your best running gear when you join us clicking here

P.S... i think i need some more practise with the different camera options, as shown by the (lack of) quality of some of them!
