12 runners moved tables and chased Olympic dreams at the Ideas Hub

This week our hosts The Ideas Hub took us to task moving tables, cabinets and monitors from our base to an office space around the corner. Slight confusion led to a couple of items doing more than one lap but we made short work of the task leaving us plenty of time to get further into the Olympic spirit with a fun fitness session in the park.

Great that Mark Brought Newbie Sophie along and with our other newbie Kate they attacked the fitness session with gusto!

After a nice long set of drills working on running form and coordination we began a short set of sprints, with some very impressive acceleration from some of the team.

Next, after a brief discussion to decide on the event, swimming and diving were over-ruled on safety grounds, and we went for the throws! a slightly adapted javelin session was made much more fun by getting the opposing team to chase the missile and collect it for the next throw. After 2 rounds of this game we went for one more with the discus before ending the program with the traditional relay battle.

We even joined Gerry in a press up challenge before home time.

Great work by all participants in a slightly longer session and well done for working through the task in double quick time.

Don't forget next weeks session is being taken by the legendary James Poole so it's sure to be entertaining! sign up here!
