Trying not to pylon the pounds
5 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Penrose Roots to Recovery in Luton.

With two days of non-stop rain, plan A of digging in the Penrose allotment was called off. Plan B was weeding the Welcome to Luton sign but someone beat us to that. So we settled to plan C which was a good run with some extra time spent on strength work.
In what turned out to be a lovely sunny and dry evening we first ran over to a very soggy Manor Park where ducks were swimming on the field. In the playground we used our resistance bands to give our legs and core a little workout, before moving on to the next stop.
Running on to a steep section we stopped for a good deep stretch of the legs in preparation for a couple of hill sprint blasts, then proceeded up the hill to the fountain at the top. Here we did some relays for interval training. With the hill conquered we retraced our steps back down and into town to call it a night.
