Feeling crafty!

8 awesome runners ran 4km to spread the word about Craft Central!

We had a nice tidy little group last night and welcomed new runner Jess to the gang who has her eyes on a place in the New York marathon... fingers and toes crossed for you Jess!

It was a pretty nippy evening so we got warmed up fairly quickly and then made our way over to the delightful Greenwich foot tunnel! The first part is always nice, a gentle downhill followed by a looooong straight and then the sneaky uphill the other end and the temptation of the lift! Which I'm very proud to say that no one took advantage of... well done team!!! You stayed strong!

Craft Central exhibition centre is located north of the river on Westferry Road and so we were targeting nearby roads which turns out was Dom's neck of the woods! We went in search for the first street and split up into to groups and got posting! We had some pretty strong draft excluders in some of the houses, real thick brushes which mashed up the leaflets a treat! Luckily Andy's fold technique worked pretty well!

The leaflets were dwindling pretty quickly and after 3 or 4 streets we were all out! We jogged back to Island Gardens for a little fitness session involving some more running.. yay!

A little bit of fartlek!

For the fitness session this week, we had some fartlek on the cards. Which translates to mean "speed play". We had one nice long straight and then a squiggly path back to the start. So it was fast down the straight and then a slow recovery jog back to the beginning for a 30 to 60 second rest. 3 times around and we called it a night!

A nice slow jog back through the tunnel and to the uni for a stretch.... lovely!

Great job last night everyone! Well done for making it out on such a cold evening when so many others didn't! Lots of great running from everyone, nice one!
