As the weather begins to change, we still saw 11 amazing runners set to the Womens Centre, it was very very VERY close to our start location and so we set off with a fun warm up outside LifeLeisure GrandCentral. From here we ran up past Stockport Art gallery and channeled our inner "Rocky" with some small stair repeats, see photos for evidence, we even had some locals cheer and chant the "Rocky" theme tune.......

With the location being so close we continued to run on past the Womens Centre to a section of land to complete some loops of the area, the challenge was to see how many loops could be done in 10 minutes, there were options for rest, or to speed it up. Everyone worked super hard on this section, so well done guys, you rocked it!

After our run challenge we made our way back to the Womens Centre where we were met by Nicki. She introduced herself and gave us a pile of bags to start up. We started to clean and de-weed the area, whipping and ripping the area into shape! As ever the team took the task with pride and enthusiasm, worked hard and still managed to chat and smile.

Before we knew it, the task in hand was done, the garden and surrounding areas were looking fresh and clean, and can now be used for a relaxing and tranquil space.

Because the crew had loved the stairs at the gallery sooooo much we decided to head back a different route, this time via the park with a a looooot of stairs. At the park we had a small fitness session of stair running mixed with a few gentle laps around the park, which was lovely and peaceful and the birds were still cherping.........

After the session was complete we made our way back to LifeLeisure where we discussed this weeks Stockport 10k on Sunday, and next weeks group run 5km clean up challenge. We finished with a cheer and a good old stretch off.

A massive thanks again for all turning up and working hard, welcome to Jessie who made it to her first northern Goodgym session and Anne for completing her 1st 10km race on Sunday and still showing up to work hard. Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Same time next wk???
