Jenny earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.

Jenny completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Jenny was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Alexandra Gardening

Sheffield Report written by Sam Needham

We helped make the gardens presentable again, loading up a bulk bag with green waste, weeding & moving leaf mulch. Leeds GG runners Tom and Rachael joined us and helped GG Sheffield and Alexandra Road neighbours cutting back the buddleia, transplanting the gooseberry bushes and weed beds where fruit trees will be planted later on . We even had a ray of sunshine joining us!

Jenny completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.

Jenny has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

GG SHF are LOVING It!

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

A HUGE GGSHF welcome to new runner;

Daisy

Click her name above to support and cheer her!

This week was the last group run of the Jan challenge and our fantastic runners came out in force for a new collaboration run with the brilliant Justin and Ben from LOVE OUR STREETS which is a program to try and clean up the streets of Sheffield and keep them that way by encouraging people to adopt a street to stay on top of the litter on that street.

We ran to just off Eccy Rd to meet with Justin and Ben to hear more about this fantastic initative and get a good competition in as well to see which team was the most rubbish!

With maps provided by Justin and Ben we split into 4 teams to cover 4 different areas and see how many bags of rubbish each of the four teams could collect in the time we had.

Team three were the victors with a solid 3 bags!

After we had said our goodbyes we headed home via a ramp for some hills sprints. We also got some good extension loops onto the run whilst on route back to keep the group together and challenge those that fancied it.

Until next time,

Happy Running :)

Wet Wet Wet

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

With 40mph winds and sideways rain outside I was amazed at how many people turned up to run last night!

We also welcomed a new runner the group. Please put your hands together, support by clicking on his name and give him a cheer for;

Just before heading out we had a call from Bev at Heeley People's Park to say that with the rain the way it was we would have to cancel tonights task due to H&S as well as just how wet it was underfoot which meant we may have ended up doing more harm than good doing the planned woodchip spreading.

With this in mind and looking outside we thought on our feet and headed to a local multi storey car park that was sheltered from the wind and the rain and gave us some good space to look at a bit of running form and do some technique analysis and drills as well as some out and out fitness.

We paired up and started with some lunges to get those hips loosened up. We went again but this time looking at two technique points;

1: Keeping elbows in a straight line in between 2 imaginary planes of glass to encourage backward rather than sideways arm drive to propel us forward.

2: Keeping our eyes looking forward to ensure our balance and posture.

We did a bit of paired evaluation with each pair having the chance to observe their partner and feedback and what they saw before and after a bit of coaching advice.

After this we had a go at implementing the 'helium balloon' analogy to try and encourage good running posture with an upright posture to encourage an open hip angle and efficient stride as well as an open chest for efficient breathing.

Again we did some paired evaluation and hopefully everyone now has something to think about the next time they get out running.

Following the technique session we moved onto some more fitness based activities that involved:

  • Sprint intervals (using the multi storey ramps)
  • Knee/leg raises
  • Paired 'row the boats'
  • Paired knee raises
  • Split lunges
  • Burpees
  • Hanging cross knee raises

On the way back we also gave 'The Moor' STRAVA segment a bash (always a bit longer than it seems), before heading back to the Showroom to stretch off and finish for the night.

Until next week, keep that helium balloon in place and Happy Running :)
