7 strong GoodGymers hammered 60 minutes of Running fitness action in Camden.

After a super hamstring and glute activating warm up we got down to business working really hard on our linear and lateral lower body stability. Progressing, regressing and adapting each drill for maximum impact we worked powerfully but controlled on every take off and landing. Working our way up to a speedy finish running off the back of some perfectly controlled bounds.

An extended warm down and stretch out eased our bodies back to relaxed mode.

Thanks everyone for coming along, hope you all enjoyed the sessions!

I will be off to Clapham Common in September for the next block of session and plan to be back in Camden in November.

Until next time

Smooth Running

On a cloudy Sunday Morning 12 Goodgymers came to take on the Monthly Time Trail, this month’s version was in Regents park, where the runners could take on 5 km or 10km. The course was a nice 2.5km loop that took in sites such as London Zoo, football pitches and even a bridge, a lot was packed into that loop.

After Steve ribbing me for Wolves surprise victory over the (not currently) mighty Liverpool, we did a group warm up involving one lap of the course. Once back to the start the time trial began and I set off the runners one by one and thanks to the marshals everyone made it around, phew. Afterwards a few of us went to the pub for a well earned roast and drink, a good way to spend a Sunday

Big thank you for everyone who came and massive cheer for our 5 marshals who did a grand job thank you Andy, Will, Beth, Aidan, Frances. Look out for February’s version, it will be go up in the next few weeks. Now my computer has decided to work please find below the time, nice one and hopefully see you at the next one where there will be a raffle draw at the end!!!

Cheers, Tom
