Birmingham Report written by Jonny Carter
This week New Coventry Trainer Liz took over from myself as she prepares for the launch of GG Cov at the end of March. Hence were this weeks pun came from.
We welcomed another Jonny, Stephen and Isobel to GoodGym for the first time tonight. After a lovely sunny day, we set off towards the canal. Liz split us up into four groups, each litter picking a different area of our adopted part of the canal towpath. Once all our sacks were full and we had a fair few as you can see in the picture, we dumped them off at Aston Lock and headed to Millennium Point.
Once we arrived Liz had an interval session planned. It was run out for 30 seconds hard, then turn and run back 30 seconds, the the same for 45 seconds, 1 minute, then back down to 45 and 30 seconds, this was all done off one minutes rest. Tom powered his way to the front, with Liam, Jonny and John not far off. Stephen put in some great graft in his first session and Isobel, Laura and Karin pushed each other a long. Once done everyone was pretty exhausted, so it was quite a tough up hill run back to 1000 Trades.
Once back at base, Liz got us all stretched off and that was job done. Well done to Liz for providing an enjoyable evening, unfortunately the group will have to put up with my good self again next week!
Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
