It was decidedly autumnal last night in Wandsworth, but with so much cheering to do before we even left for the run, it didn't hold us back one jot.

To kick things off with, we cheered some excellent new faces to the gang. Hello and welcome to Jamie, Eleanor, Nav, Kirsty, Neasa, Helena and birthday girl Gabriela!

We also had a very special achievement to celebrate, with Jordan reaching his 50th good deed. Now that shows real commitment to both doing good and getting fitter. A huge well done!

Tonight's task was a short run away, but we still needed to warm up so headed outside first for a quick warm up. During our dynamic exercises we did a speedy poll to find out our favourite chocolate. Between us, we had most of them covered. With our heart rates up, and Baz and Jamie back marking for us, we set of for Christ Church primary school in Battersea.

It was a nice downhill jaunt to the task, and we arrived less than ten minutes later to find the headteacher, Colette, waiting for us armed with a large handful of slips with jobs written on them. Such organisation! Most schools now are feeling stretched and resources are limited, so she was happy to see such a large group of us ready and raring to go. Dividing up into teams we cracked right on, tackling weeding, path clearing, bed filling, fruit picking, compost sorting and tending to the bug hotel. Great work, team!

With the list of jobs ticked off, and a sudden shower sending us scurrying to the greenhouse to seek temporary shelter, we set off for the local park to smash out a short fitness session. It was wet, it was muddy, it was dark - but that didn't stop us. We must have given some passersby a bit of a shock as they hurried through the dimly lit park only to stumble upon 35 bodies squatting under the dark canopy of trees. After a series of tough drills which included swimming planks, sprints, back to back squats, squat jumps (last night really was all about the squats), star jumps and fast feet, we decided to call it a night and took a brisk run back up the hill to our starting point.

We finished off the evening with some stretches, singing happy birthday to the lovely Gabriela, and cake for dinner to celebrate Jordan's 50th. Lovely stuff. Next week we've got more of the same, sign up for it here. Don't forget to let me know if there's ever any specific fitness you want to work on so we can work it into the session. Well done Wandsworth!
