We welcomed two newbies to GG for tonight’s run. It was a warm welcome to Miriam and Naomi. Luckily with a lot of rain around earlier on in the day, tonight it held off, we even were treated to some evening sunshine.

With Tom doing the front marker job and Charlotte the back, we set off to our task. Around a 3k run up to Stanhope garden. On arrival it was weeding the garden and clearing the weeds in between the paving flags for tonight’s task.

After we had spent a good twenty minutes in the garden, we headed off. Tonight’s fitness sess was some, short, sharp intervals. Yep 10 x 20 second efforts, with 20 seconds rest. Balal shot to the front with Tom and Antonio. Miriam and Naomi put in some great work in their first GG fitness session. Everyone of course worked well and pushed hard the whole session, even on that cheeky longer last rep I added in at the end.

Once done it was ‘just’ the steady run back to 1000 Trades! I say ‘just’ as it’s always quite tough running back after a killer interval session and to make it even harder, it’s all up hill! Anyway everyone made it back in one piece, so jobs a good un!

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
