Tonight we were at our brand new city centre base, The Good Intent.

The session was a running workout followed by a litter pick outside the church on Carrs Lane.

We headed off to 'the hill' in the Jewellery Quarter to do some Kenyan hills. The workout was 8 minutes of Kenyan hills followed by 3 hard hill sprints. Everyone worked hard as you can see from the photos, the group were running so hard they caused a blur!

Once done we swung by our old base, 1000 Trades to pick up our litter pickers to take to our litter picking spot.

We managed a full bag of litter clearing the area in double quick time.

Once done, we walked back to the Good Intent for a well earned drink :)

Tonight was the running session followed by a park litter pick.

The session was a tough one with 5 sets of 2 minute and 1 minute efforts, all off 1 minute recovery. Everybody worked hard, getting a good session under their belts.

After the stretch it was time for a litter pick as the full moon shined down upon us in the clear evening sky.

This was our last Jewellery Quarter Cemetery task, before the dark nights roll in!

3 GGers' helped out with Josie in removing some stakes from trees, along with the wood around the trees. It wasn't an easy task, with plenty of muscles recruited to remove some of the nails.

There were a lot of new trees planted in Warstone Lane Cemetery between 2020 and 2021. Some of them are now so big that the tree supports were rubbing the bark and needed to be removed to protect the trees which are big enough to withstand the wind without them now.

Also sadly 3 of the trees died after being planted so those supports weren't needed either. We packed up all the spare tree supports so they can be reused for new apple trees which have been planted in Lodge Hill Cemetery and need more protection before the winter!

we managed to load all the stakes into Josie's car, so it was a good job done.

Although it was listed as a run, Jonny biked too and from the session and Veronika and Miriam got some steps in via a walk and also certainly got a bit of a strength workout.
