The snow had thawed in the Steel City and the @GGSheff crew were raring to get out onto the streets again and make Sheffield Stainless as part of the Great British Spring Clean #GBSpringClean and ahead of the Cities Outdoor Weekender when visitors will descend on Sheffield for all types of outdoor goodness!

We had some new runners this week. Woop, Hola and Cheers for;

After saying hello and divying out plastic bags and gloves ready for our PLOG we headed down the street and up over the bridge to the 'other side of the tracks' to begin our Spring Clean of the city.

We focused on a number of specific areas, did quick sweeps, emptied our bags and moved onto the next area. We literally refused to sack it off, we bin wheely good gymers....

In between areas we made the most of the local landscape and street furniture to get some great fitness in including:

  • Quick feet step ups
  • Hill Sprints
  • Box Jumps on the Amphitheatre
  • Lunges up the Steel City Steps
  • Suicides

Chris wins the prize for the biggest haul as can be seen in the photos.

Top work everyone!

Happy running :)
