On a near on perfect night for running, we welcomed Gwen to GG for the first time, it’s great to have you with us!

Tonight’s task was running around the city centre handing out fruit and information cards for SIFA Fireside. We quickly used up our fruit, hence this weeks pun! But carried on giving out plenty of cards.

Once done, we headed to St Paul’s square for a circuit workout. It started with press ups, followed by some high knees running. Next we went onto the grass for the first time this summer and did some core stuff. Starting with superman’s, Tom showed a very stable core. Next it was the plank, Laura and Liam showing good core strength. Next it was a back extension, a fantastic exercise to improve posture. Fiona worked well on this one, it really is a tough exercise, considering you move very little. Last of all was the wall squats. Two sets of 45 seconds, with just 15 seconds recovery, a right killer! Morwenna held it in perfect position and Tatiana and Gwen, gritted their teeth together to hold it for the whole duration. Then one very last thing was added, two sets of tuck jumps! 20 seconds effort with 10 seconds recovery. Two sets was the task, but much to Rob’s disgust of course I added a 3rd ;-) And that was the end! It was tiring writing all that never mind doing it!

Oh yes of course, well we were virtually done, we still had a short run back to 1000 Trades, then that was definitely it!

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
