Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Last night, we had a top crew of Goodgymmers, parkrunners and Achilles International runners and guides out for our first official group run at the Emirates Stadium.
Visually impaired Achilles International runners Naqi and Mark joined our Goodgym team (Simon, Paul, Latoya and new attendee Edward) at Arsenal station, before we headed past Gillespie Nature Trail and over to the concourse of the Emirates Stadium. We were also joined by Achilles regulars Steve, Meghan and new starter Joanna from the Gunnersbury parkrun event team.
Mark and Paul ran some fun fartlek (speed play loops around the perimeter of the stadium), while Naqi, Simon, Ed and Meghan ran at least 5km of intervals using the various statues of footballing greats as markers. Tony Adams to Danny Fiszmann - recovery pace, Danny Fiszmann to Dennis Bergkamp - moderate effort, Dennis Bergkamp to Tony Adams - sprint/max velocity!
Congratulations folks - We had a wonderful time!
Our next session will be at Paddington Rec Track on Thursday 6th October. Meeting at Maida Vale underground station for 6pm:
