Left us in stitches

Slough Report written by Manjit Birk

Having only done short distances for a while now, a few members asked if we could run a bit more! More running! Of course… da doo run run, da doo run run…

So tonight’s session was one of two halves. The first half was to knock out a 5km run (or 2km for those who preferred it) then onto a litter pick.

A firm favorite meet up point for a session like this has always been Upton Court Park.

Did you know?

Upton Court Park used to be farm land and was acquired by Slough Council in the 1930’s

Warming up ... sounds like a bit of a stretch to me

We started off with some running drills to warm everyone up then split into our two groups.

We sent the 5k team off first whilst the 2k’ers did some bench push ups. Once all run and dusted Gauri and Meera set off to catch up with Ninja Pam!

I managed to catch up with the 5k crew just as they turned at the Harvestor (I’m sure they went for a sneaky without me!).

Huge well done to the team for getting in more km than we usually do. Pam, Gauri and Meera did 3km, rest of team did 5km whilst Ricky went the extra mile and got 6km!

We then cracked on with a litter pick of the car park, managing a nice 5 bags of rubbish before heading off for the warmth of home!

The unruly grass kept on growing- what a grass-cal!

Slough Report written by Slough runner

13' runners joined us at Upton Court Park for a relaxing fitness session.

Jean and Nisha a massive Happy Birthday to you both.

Quick warm up to 2M and back followed by star jumps, spotty dogs, jump ups, arm circles, high knees and so on, followed by 2 groups. Group 1 started with squats whilst group 1 doing side steps along the over grown grass, alternating between the group. Swiftly moving onto our speedy hills, you are were all fantastic 5x hill sprints. Sut even managed 1x hill sprint. Lastly onto the rugby club 30 seconds on back and forth to the white lines.

Nice gentle job back to 2K marker with a nice cool down and sing a long.

We have our last fitness session next Monday with Ricky leading. https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/fitness-in-the-park-c4204bea-2726-40a3-bc01-bc4209e1cb9c.

The Buck Squats Here

Slough Report written by Ricky Kloay

We had 9 runners tonight run 3k in a training session in Slough with plenty of fitness training thrown in too.

We started by welcoming new runner, Tracey, to her first Goodgym session.

After a quick warm up we went straight into fitness training focusing on leg strengthening and core workouts, combining them with running techniques learned in previous sessions. This included squats, sumo squats, backward lunges, russian twists, single and double leg extensions.

After each set of core exercise we introduced speed training and hill exercise to help work towards becoming stronger runners.

We could all take lessons in endurance from Jean and Pam!

We ended the session with a few games including "Noughts and Crosses" using coloured cones, challenging each other in teams. Sandy was super happy to win a couple of games!

Happy birthday to Harsha. We celebrated the big "40" in true Goodgym style by dedicating our last exercise to her favourite exercise and completed 40 Burpees on her behalf.

Some people don't like leg puns because they can't stand them.

Great Session this evening with 11 runners participating.

Fitness Part 3

Tonights session was based on strength work to becoming a stronger runner, I split them into Team 1 & 2..

Started with squats, sumo squats, backward lunges with running techniques and a lesson of counting numbers hhmm?

Ricky "Count to 10 or 20" we all passed phew.

Following on Team 1 worked on speed work whilst Team 2 went off to do hill sprints and vice versa, we all went on to do 1 lap of the green area finishing off with a stretch and cool down.

                                                                                    ***ARE YOUR LEGS  LIKE JELLY YET? ***

Next Monday 3rd May is Bank Holiday we will confirm soon if a Fitness Session will take place.
