Birmingham Report written by Jonny Carter

18 people ran 8k to Stanhope Community garden to tidy the garden

It was great to welcome four GoodGym newbie’s tonight. We had the pleasure of Laura, Ilona, Maya and Cameron’s company. It was also awesome to have Suze join us from GG Sheffield, meaning we had three Yorkshire people on the run tonight with Suze adding to the Tyke squad of myself and Sam.

Tonight, was a great night for running, nice and sunny, but a bit cooler than recent times. We headed off to Stanhope, after arriving we were greeted by the team at the garden who instructed us to do a bit of general tidying. It was a bit of weeding, sweeping etc. There were some car tyres which needed moving. Abi, George and Sam did the honours hence this week’s pun!

killer hills!!

Once done we set off back, but before we did the group had the small matter of six minutes of tough hill work. This was on a very steep hill, running up hard and jogging down as recovery. The focus was to get a high knee lift and not over-striding as the group powered up the hill. We got going, Aaron looking great after his six weeks out after a hernia op. George, Liam, Cameron and Suze flew up each hill. The two Laura’s and Emily dug in powering up to the top and Maya and Ilona put in a great shift on their first GG outing. As ever as much as everyone says they don’t like hills, the whole group were excellent, pulling each other along. We even had two lads aged ten and eleven who joined in from the local houses, future Mo Farah's perhaps?! At the end of the six minutes, the group did one more hill effort all together, it was fantastic to see everyone charging up the hill, giving absolutely everything! Top stuff!

Once done, the downside was the group still had a 3k uphill run back to base, however it was no problem for this group as everyone managed it at a good ‘clip’.

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
