On time, on target

Well, it started well. 15 t-shirt-clad GoodGym runners met by the Mystical Fitness Tree in heavenly Meath Gardens at 7:15pm.

We said our hello's, and greeted members we hadn't seen for a while as we moved through our first few stretches.

Some dynamic stretches and easy laps were followed by a few running drills (it's all about the hip drive, you know) and some standing core exercises.

The team were then treated to an intense few minutes of bootcamp-esque sprints and squats, with depth, duration and repetition all used to intensify this lower body extravaganza.

After more running drills, we then moved them swiftly onto the obligatory greyhound and hare speed game, more Christmas tree shuttle runs before some final stretches. And our short photo moment for the evening.

Three cheers

It was an amazing effort. I feel very proud of our team tonight, many of whom have not undertaken a structured workout for a while, who welcomed one another so warmly, and then powered through 60 tough Monday night movement minutes.

It's official: you're still amazing.

Until next week.
