Tonight was Jonny's running club followed by a litter pick around the housing estate.

The running session was a tough one! 16 x 1 minute of efforts, with only 30 seconds recovery. If that wasn't enough it was followed by 4 30 seconds really fast efforts!

The group worked really well together, with the faster runners, going ahead, then having to chase the others when they ran the opposite way. It's a great way for everyone to push each other.

The group were working so hard my pics were a little blurred! Well that's my excuse anyway!

Once done the 'warm down' was a walk picking some litter, surprisingly we saw a white cat sat in their driveway rather than in their house, certainly braver than my cat!

Once done we had a quick pic and everybody was keen to get back in the warmth!

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.

Tonight GoodGym Sutton Coldfield collabarated with Area Activator Jonny's free weekly running club in Sutton Park.

The session involved 5 x 3 minute interval efforts, off 1 minute rest, followed by 4 x 30 seconds fast efforts of 30 seconds rest. The 30 second efforts certainly built up the lactic acid and as best they tried 30 seconds recovery wasn''t long enough to remove it all!

Once done, the group had just enough energy to do a litter pick around the park.

The aim is to make this a monthly session, so if you enjoy running it's a great way to get fit whilst doing good and if you aren't a runner you are more than welcome to join us for the litter pick :)
