Report written by Joel Wiles
21 GoodGymers ran 4K, took in some of the Hackney Half route and tackled a green fingered new task!
Great weather and great company for our run last night!! Thanks for everyone who came along and worked so hard!
Welcome to our GoodGym first timers, hope you enjoyed joining the Hackney GoodGym Train, hope to see you again next week!!
Sorry about the high pressured name and number start but I blame Renegade Ros!!
With heightened anticipation in the air with the upcoming 21.1km’s of fun on Sunday we put final touches on our Half marathon prep by scouting out a few k’s of the race route on our run to our new task at the Welshpool Estate Community Garden.
With a range of tools and some band new gloves on especially for us we got stuck into a wide range of jobs! Lots of liberal weeding, soil turning, edging, litter picking, trench digging, shrub removal and even a little wooden boarder laying gave us plenty to do in 45 strong minutes of community gardening action.
With the almost toy wheelbarrow working overtime to keep up with the huge volume of weeding and some cheeky Pickaxe action coupled with expert root removal we pushed our time to the limit.
With the circuits avoidance moves played well cleverly to keep legs fresh for a speedy Sunday Race performance! We nipped the short distance back to base where we stretched out and upped our Celebrity Instagram knowledge!!
Thanks for a fun evening!! Hope to see you all at some point on Sunday!! Pre in the Race Village, on route, or post run on the grass outside Here East. We will be flag making and GG Olympic torch constructing to!
Rest Up, Carb up, Run hard and Enjoy!!
Smooth Running
