It was great to see everyone tonight for GoodGym Solihull’s tenth run!

Tonight’s task we were back at Age UK charity shop to do some more painting. It’s really great to see how much we have achieved since our first visit to Veronica and the shop.

Once we had finished painting another wall in the shop, it was off to Tudor Grange Park to do a sprint work out. We split into two groups of three and it was a race to see who could get all their team mates from one side to the other and back again. Liam, Fiona and Rachel managed to win 2-1, so congrats to them and great work everyone!

Sprinting in short blasts helps your body build up stamina and is great if you can incorporate it into a normal run. This could be done just by adding short blasts of sprinting in between lampposts or between each crossroad.

Then it was time for a longer run back to base, lead by Chris through Brueton Park, and a quick stretch to finish off.

I am away next week, so Aidan will be leading the run in my absence when the group will be heading to Tudor Grange Park for some more litter picking. Please give him a warm welcome to GoodGym Solihull and I shall see you in two weeks!
