Ride Sally, Riiiiiide On!

20 brilliant runners came out this fresh evening, ran 5 k, delivered 500 fliers for Ride On and smashed some Sally Squats! AMAZING WORK!

A very warm welcome to Nonny, Imogen, Harry and Emily who joined us for the first time. We hope you loved it and come back soon again for more running and doing good!

As always we started the evening with a welcome speech and a dynamic warm up session outside the Phoenix. Once warmed up we set off in a comfortable speed towards Mount Pleasant. We stopped at regular intervals to re-group and had lots of fun during these stops showing off our best squats and lunges. A big thank you to Lucy R who back marked so that no-one got left behind.

On arrival to Mount Pleasant we divided our group two groups. One group set off delivering leaflets for Ride On (a lovely charity that aims to make Exeter greener and healthier by providing bike maintenance courses, cycling advice and bike refurbishments). Up and down the hilly streets they went.

What an excellent way to get fit whilst doing good! YES! JUST WHAT WE WANT!

The other group carried out some fitness challenges, including a squat/run game and some Sally Squats. LOVE Sally Squats and LOVE the way you all smashed them!

After Mount Pleasant we continued towards Newtown where we swapped groups so that everyone got to do the amazing Sally Squats and everyone got involved in the leafleting. Amazing work everyone!

Who knew that a Tuesday night in Exeter could be this much fun!

Back in Exeter town centre we maximized the fitness by doing a quick circuit session, including some upper body work and some core exercises. Fantastic work! It was then time for us to get back to our base for some important stretches and a catch-up over some refreshments in the bar. Thank you Andy for coming up with the pun! A big apology for not managing to get a picture of Pete's meggings! Next week for sure!

To finish off with I have to say you guys are amazing for always being so positive, so full of energy and for always giving it all you have both during the running, the fitness session and the task! TUESDAY EVENINGS ROCK!

Can’t wait to see you all again next week when we will run to St Thomas to do a litter pick. The run will be 4 k and we have a brilliant fitness session planned for the return run. Sign up here to join the fun
