Hot Trot

A heat resistant elite team met at the Aquatics Centre last night. Plans to tidy up our adopted canal section were scuppered, but in a good way, our stretch was unblemished. So though it was best to have a nice catch up run, and light up our core muscles in the leafy shade of Hackney Marshes.

But first, we welcomed Corey, all the way from New Zealand, he came solely to sample GoodGym Newham's volunteering-training winning combo, we offered him just one of those yesterday, but we'll be back doing our thing next week, at Newham Hospital, sign up here.

Random Weekly Question fluttered between the BoJo based questions "How could the dithering dumpling get sacked?", "Have you ever said something you really shouldn't have said?", however the heat got to us and we settled for "what's your favourite ice cream flavour?" Vanilla, pistachio, peanut, almond, chocolate, mint chocolate and much more. Reckon today's a good'un for icy desserts actually. I'm getting an ice lolly soon, FYI.

Our run was proper lovely, went via the Velodrome, passed some nice fields, over a cute bridge and into The Marshes. Across the Parkrun course, love that Parkrun, then onto the grass. Just a little dabble of core for the team, plank variants, ab work, paired core work and team core work. A relatively tame one, more of what I call a 'feel good session', where you've got plenty more to give at the end.

We finished off with refreshing drinks at Tap East and all the fried and sliced potatoes a human could desire.

Looks like it's cooling off this weekend, touch of rain tomorrow and some cool mid twenty figures next week. Hope we have a Parkrun tribe attacking the Saturday morning 5k with panache and vigour. Let's get them comms rolling.

I'll see you fine specimens next week, then on 3rd August for the massive GoodGym Sports Day, aka Olympics - should be a cracking day out.

Till then peeps
