What are we waiting for... let’s get ready to run-ble!

Hedging our bets

Our task tonight was to #keepbritaintidy with a litter pick mission.

So we litter picked the hedges and within the bushes.

Generally these areas get missed so our warm up to the warm up was to poke, pick and prod until we dislodged the rubbish.

Mission complete we got ready for the next round.

I’m just warming up

Warm up games are not the same when you can’t run into someone, push them over in a game of tag or slap their knees in a body slam match... but hey ho... single file running using different running ranges it was then.

Weight for it..

Who needs fancy kit when you have your own body weight to work with?

Tonight we did my favorite stability, strength and balance workout with a little twist

  • Hip hip hooray for the hip stability work,
  • Footloose with the foot strengthing work
  • A balanced approach for the core balance work
  • And jumping jacks in all directions to finish off.

Run? I thought you said Rum!

The rum will be well deserved tonight! After all this fitness we then headed out (or should I say in) the park for some good old fashioned Fartlek speed work.

Half a mile of killing ourselves! What better way to start the week and end your Monday!

So good to be out again with the crew on a Monday night... Doing Good and Getting Fit
