13 people ran 6km to clean a room at SIFA Fireside

This week it was hello to another GoodGym ‘first timer’. It was great that Laura joined us, everyone give her a cheer! After the ‘intros’ we were on our way down to Digbeth to SIFA Fireside. On arrival, we were greeted by Geoff, who very kindly provided us all with some welcome water on a rather sweaty night.

A load of door knobs

After Geoff told the group a little bit about what SIFA do, it was on with the task, which was to clean all the door knobs in the room, clean the doors, walls, and showers. Everyone looked great in their Florissant green rubber gloves! Once done we had a few quick pictures and we were back on our way!

Car park sess

After setting off back we stopped in a car park, which had some rather spectacular graffiti to do a quick fitness sess. Starting off with wall squats, Sajini, Kate, Morwenna and Charlotte working hard to hold a perfect position, this was followed by some sprints, Graeme, Garry and Neal to the fore. Then chucked in between these were some killer tuck jumps, Laura, Maria and Chloe showing top form. The sess was finished off with some thigh burning high knees running, everyone giving there all!

Two groups better than one?

For the run back we split into two groups, a faster group and a slightly slower one. Everyone was pretty cream crackered after the fitness sess, therefore it did take a little persuading to get a few to join me in the faster group! Once back at base we waited for everyone to arrive and we finished off with the usual stretching.

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