The day after the Sheffield Half Marathon an impressive number arrived at the showroom to aid their recovery on a short run to Lynwood Gardens.

We welcomed Gabriella, Zuzanna and Gavin on their first runs, show them some support and give them a cheer!

Super Sarah was bestowed with her very own bowtie for reaching her 50th good deed, make sure to give her a cheer here.

We headed to Lynwood on our traditional route which despite the climb on Hanover Way is the least hilly route from A to B, but we took it steady to make sure those post race legs weren't to painful. On arrival Gorgeous Gareth gave us a intro to the evening's task which focused around getting a skip filled, Captain Kat has clearly been reading some productivity books and quickly suggested we form a human chain to pass the debris from where it was being stored out to the skip. We got an education on what Greedy Boards were and soon had all skip filled.

With a little bit of time left we turned over the compost piles and searched the location for anything else that looked skippable.

Once were were finished and had received a warm thank you for Gareth we headed off.

Having promised not to inflict the Moby Flower Squat Challenge on everyone we spotted off en route so Stand In Steve could ruin another favourite song. This time it was Will Smith getting us to pulse squat, jump squat, forward, back and side lunge to "Switch", which everyone loved!

When we arrived back at base we spent a little longer stretching to make sure we helped with leg recovery and didn't forget those arms that had helped drive so many up That Hill the previous day!
