17 super GoodGymers enjoyed a beautiful South London September evening to run their way to Glory in the first Clapham Fitness 4 All session.

Starting the session with a dynamic warm up and working to hone our running form really focusing on the ever important body position to help us all get into our running Flow.

After a series of drills incorporating skipping, lunging and accelerating we split up into teams of 3 to tackle some relay running with powerful High Fives and rolling through the speed gears as we run 4 blocks of 5 minutes running. We changed the distance and pace of each block and great to see everyone really putting in serious effort to dominate the running especially the shorter faster reps!

Hope to see you all again next week to build on this weeks session with some more Running Fitness fun. If you have not already done so sign up here.

A movie-themed run report by Andrea

Set free from our Office Space(s), eight My Fair Ladies and one Ironman came out for a night of running and gardening here in Brent.

Tonight we were graced by the leadership of Lisa, who’s set to lead the Ealing group come next week! The crew set off, undeterred by the wet weather (it was quite Cool Running). Two miles later we had made it to Kingsgate’s Secret Garden at Kilburn Grange Park.

We were led to the Temple (…aka Toolshed) of Doom featuring the best array of gardening equipment this team has seen to date. Though tempting, we avoided a Chainsaw Massacre by keeping to the equipment we (mostly) knew how to use – the highlight was definitely the giant eyelash -curler-esque weed scoopers.

In a quick break from gardening, we dashed through La Vie en Rose (…aka rose garden) in partner squat and sprint races. Soon it was time for the 2 mile run home, where we again incorporated some Speed work. Running like The Fast and the Furious, we found ourselves back at home-base with five minutes to spare… just enough time for the 100 squat challenge Bring It On. The A-Team pulled together in some of our best form yet to Power Ranger through this final piece of the workout.

Now.....That’s all folks!!!!!

Until next time
