Tonight we were down on the canal for a litter pick, so armed with our litter pickers we ran to the canal before filling a bag full of litter. We then had a pleasant walk in what was somewhat mild temperatures compared to last week up to Aston Lock were we dropped off the bags.
After that we headed to Millenium Point to do some intervals. We haven't done these for a long time so it was good to get back to some old GG ways!
The session was 30 secs/45/1min/1min/ 45/ 30 secs, all off 45 secs rest. James and Morwenna certainly blew the 'interval cobwebs' away with the session!
Once done it was a steady run back to 1000 Trades, for a nice 6k in total :)

On a literally freezing night in Brum we had 4 hardy GoodGymers who did some good, followed by a good old old school GG Brum workout!
We set off on a litter pick around the JQ with Morwenna finding a frozen sock hence the pun!
After walking for a good while, we were all pretty cold so it was time for a run. We took a route around the JQ finishing in St Paul's Square ready for some circuit work!
This is what we did a lot of pre-pandemic so it was great to have it back! We had mountain climbers, squat jumps, tuck jumps and finished with the dreaded wall squat! Everyone worked hard, Eve and Morwenna mentioning they would no doubt feel it tomorrow and James getting warm enough to strip down to just a t-shirt!
Once done it was a nice steady jog around to 1000 Trades. Great work everyone :)

This evening we gave the task a miss due to the cold weather and had a steady walk and run around the Jewellery Quarter. Watching out for the ice and slippy spots, we headed out for a 5km run and ending back at 1000 Trades for a cool down and warm up inside!

On a rather mild October night it was great to welcome Rob to GoodGym for the first time. Rob was one of the walkers, so we decided to all walk together the 1.2k to the canal to complete our litter pick.
Before we had hardly started the litter pick Eve found her green drinks bottle she'd lost when cycling along the cobbles on the canal at the weekend! As you can see she was pretty pleased to find it!
That was a great start to the task. We followed this up by clearing plenty of litter along the walls of the canal.
Once done, Rob walked back to catch his bus, whilst Eve, James and Jonny did a 4k run along the canal, through Millenium Point and up the hills back through the city centre.,
