Meanwhile in Westminster 8 speedy souls took themselves along to St Andrews Youth Centre in Pimlico for their monthly REFRESH.

Now for some strange reason we were quite low on numbers this week but everyone who came was a little be nippier than they make out to be when there are more of us.

So what did we do? We absolutely hammered it there and then absolutely hammered it back.

A quick briefing on health and safety, a debate on our beliefs when it comes to the number of dying languages around the world and finally a discussion on how fast these brave souls actually wanted to run.

We headed out the door and as if by magic 14 mins later we arrived.

We were greeted by our host Adrian who told those who hadn't been to St Andrews before all about the history of the club which is the oldest in the UK if not the world. We smiled and set about the task, a task that normally takes 30mins i challenged them to get it done in 15mins.

As time ticked on with 3 minutes remaining we had finished. Allllllllll the gym equipment was shiny, sparkly and new. Adrian did a few checks and he agreed. We laughed he applauded, we thanked him, he smile we left.

13.5 mins later we were back at our base. Eyes bright everyone breathing as if it was there last breath BUT everyone smiling, happy that this evening instead of doing sprints and ridiculous drills, we sprinted there and sprinted back.

What at awesome evening, hopefully we will see you next week for our last GoodGym of the year.
