Ride Sally, Riiiiiide On!

Exeter Report written by Klara Kjellgren

20 brilliant runners came out this fresh evening, ran 5 k, delivered 500 fliers for Ride On and smashed some Sally Squats! AMAZING WORK!

A very warm welcome to Nonny, Imogen, Harry and Emily who joined us for the first time. We hope you loved it and come back soon again for more running and doing good!

As always we started the evening with a welcome speech and a dynamic warm up session outside the Phoenix. Once warmed up we set off in a comfortable speed towards Mount Pleasant. We stopped at regular intervals to re-group and had lots of fun during these stops showing off our best squats and lunges. A big thank you to Lucy R who back marked so that no-one got left behind.

On arrival to Mount Pleasant we divided our group two groups. One group set off delivering leaflets for Ride On (a lovely charity that aims to make Exeter greener and healthier by providing bike maintenance courses, cycling advice and bike refurbishments). Up and down the hilly streets they went.

What an excellent way to get fit whilst doing good! YES! JUST WHAT WE WANT!

The other group carried out some fitness challenges, including a squat/run game and some Sally Squats. LOVE Sally Squats and LOVE the way you all smashed them!

After Mount Pleasant we continued towards Newtown where we swapped groups so that everyone got to do the amazing Sally Squats and everyone got involved in the leafleting. Amazing work everyone!

Who knew that a Tuesday night in Exeter could be this much fun!

Back in Exeter town centre we maximized the fitness by doing a quick circuit session, including some upper body work and some core exercises. Fantastic work! It was then time for us to get back to our base for some important stretches and a catch-up over some refreshments in the bar. Thank you Andy for coming up with the pun! A big apology for not managing to get a picture of Pete's meggings! Next week for sure!

To finish off with I have to say you guys are amazing for always being so positive, so full of energy and for always giving it all you have both during the running, the fitness session and the task! TUESDAY EVENINGS ROCK!

Can’t wait to see you all again next week when we will run to St Thomas to do a litter pick. The run will be 4 k and we have a brilliant fitness session planned for the return run. Sign up here to join the fun

Cross Your Heart And Hope It Dries!

Exeter Report written by Klara Kjellgren

25 (YES 25!!) incredible runners ran 4 k to help re-decorate the Parish Room in St Davids Church. This room is used for a soup kitchen and other charity work. What a great task for us get stuck in with!

Awesome to have Isabella, Pazzy, Anna, Lexi, Oliver and Thomas with us for the first time. It was great to have you with us and we hope you come back soon again!

GETTING FIT

We started our evening with a dynamic warm up session outside the Phoenix, playing a round of "Simon Says" involving a lot of high knees, lunges and star jumps. Warmed up and ready we set off towards out task location. It was a nice crisp evening, so much nicer than the stormy and icy weather we have had lately and it felt amazing to stretch our legs out! As always we re-grouped at regular intervals so that no-one got left behind. These stops are also perfect opportunities for squat challenges. LOVE IT!

The task owners very kindly let us use the church for our fitness session and it felt a real treat to do a core session on soft carpet rather than on wet grass or hard concrete! We did 10 different types of sit-ups and planks held for 30 seconds each, followed by Eminem's core challenge. GREAT WORK GUYS!

Don't think we ever thought we'd be doing a core session in a church! The things you get to experience with the GoodGym hey!

On the return run we took a new route again to make the run a bit longer. Such great effort, such lovely red faces when we returned to our base. You guys smashed it!

DOING GOOD

Good things come in three right! This was our third evening of working at St David's Church and everyone knew exactly what they were doing by now. We got stuck in straight away and worked hard for 45 minutes paining the doors, the ceiling and the walls.

What a fantastic end result! A complete transformation of the Parish Room! Ceiling, walls, cupboards are now sparkling white instead of dark orange. Check out the before and after photos, you just won’t believe it!

It has been amazing to have an indoor task this dark and blustery time of the year and it has also been FANTASTIC to have such good turn-out for the runs! Over three weeks 61 runners have been involved with re-decorating the Parish room, giving it a make-over so that the charities that use it can enjoy it more. BRILLIANT STUFF!

SHOUT OUTS

Big thank you to Nic who back marked. Such an important job!

Lovely to have so many great runners with us from the Exeter Uni's Cool Running Society. Thank you Emma for making this happen!

A special shout out to Helen who travels really far to join us every Tuesday evening! Such dedication!

Thank you to the lovely task owners at St Davids Church have let us use the church for our fitness sessions, away from the rain, and this evening also treated us to some amazing homemade cakes and biscuits.

A BIG shout out to every single one of you who came along with so much energy and such great attitude! You all did something amazing, you got fit whilst doing good! yay! Can't wait to see you all next week!

NEXT UP

Next week we will be running a total of 4 k to Newtown and Pennsylvania to do some leafleting for Ride On. We will do some little fitness challenges along the way and make this important task lot’s of fun! Sign up here and join us!

Don't forget to check the website for Community Missions. We got some great ones coming up!
