On a chilly winter night, six of Goodgym's most committed runners met to make Wanstead a better place and did a challenging Fartlek session on George Green.

With only three runs left in 2018, the team were feeling full of festive cheer and eager to get about sweeping the leaf fall that builds up so quick at Wanstead House. Armed with rakes, giant shovels and brooms, the team set about sweeping and raking the mountains of leaves around the house. Moving quickly, to keep warm the group had soon collected a wheelie bin full of leaves and were soon up the road, on a warm up before the fartlek session.

With the roads now dark and uninviting, Team Rebridge have begun a winter season of structured interval sessions aimed at making them better runners in the New Year. A current favourite is the High-5 Fartlek session which involves pairing up and running around George Green in opposite directions. When the two runners meet they high-5 and switch between running easy and running hard. It's super fun and a great way to make time pass quickly.

A big mention to new members Tom and Lauren for a super speedy session! Nice work guys, you were really shifting out there!

Sadly there's only two Goodgym's left for 2018, so make sure you join us next week for our penultimate task and fitness session!
