I’m back after a week off! I hope you all enjoyed last week with Aidan, if you are interested in becoming a (can you call in stand in or supply?) run leader in the future, please come and talk to me about how we can set this up. This will mean you’ll be able to lead group sessions if I’m not available, or lead a community mission.

For tonight’s task we were litter picking in Brueton Park for Love Solihull.

Once we had filled all of our sacks it was time for a pyramid session. This involves 30 seconds of hard running, 45 seconds of slightly easier run, 1 minute of race pace, back to 45 seconds slightly harder, and finishing off with a final 30 second hard sprinting. Each interval has a 45 second rest in between. This session is really good to help build up your stamina and the amount of oxygen in your blood. A massive well done to everyone - especially with all the injuries and illnesses going around!

Please give a warm welcome to Lin on her first run with GGSolihull!

Next week we’ll be back at The Courtyard helping out in the garden. Look forward to seeing you all then. Rob
