Tonight the running club was slightly adapted as it was somewhat hot and muggy! I'm not sure anybody has mentioned it on social media!

The session was 10 x 30 second efforts followed by 10 x 20 second efforts off less recovery, definately a good one to get some speed in ones legs!

Afterwards it was onto the litter pick as we headed back to Boldmere gate.

Tonight the group did some long intervals. 8 minutes on the flat, 8 minutes of Kenyan hills, 6 minutes on the flat and then 4 30 second lung busting hill sprints! Well when I say 'on the flat' if you know Sutton Park thats not strictly true, there is always some sort of gradient to run up or down!

Once done with all the hard running we were onto the litter pick. A friendly member of the public even took the group snap!

Tonight we were back with the running club in Sutton Park, after a short break, followed by a new GG task at Our Place Support.

Tonight's interval session was 8 x 1 minute efforts off, 1 minute rest, followed by a 3 minute break, then another 8 x 1 minute efforts! It certainly was a tough one, but it was great to see everyone working well together.

Once done we headed to Our Place Support, where we were greeted by Danielle and our task was to weed the garden used by visitors to the charity who enjoy the quiet space.

We managed to weed a good half of the garden in 30 minutes or so, great job. Danielle was very appreciative of our efforts, commenting on how much better it looked. We''ll be back next month to finish the job :)

Tonight was an interval session in Sutton Park followed by a litter pick.

The session was 4 x 1 minute, off 1 minute rest, next was 6 x 2 minutes, off 1 minute rest, followed by a 2nd set of 4 x 1 minute efforts to really 'finish the group off'! Everyone worked really well together, it was great to see :)

Straight after the session it was onto picking some litter and we managed one large bag and even found some artwork which we decided to leave in case somebody was collecting it, or they had lost it.

Tonight was some more hill training for the group.

The session was certainly a tough one, with some inter-play with the different energy systems. The session was 4 x 30 second hill sprints to start, this was then followed by the 'ever popular' Kenyan hills, the real 'meat of the session' followed by some 45 second lactic acid producing hill sprints to finish off! Everyone worked hard, with the group working really well together, absolutely fantastic to see :)

Once done it was onto the litter pick, with plenty of litter collected as the sun was going down.
