8 Goodgym runners enjoyed a fun fitness session

A late cancellation of the task left us with no job to do for the first time in Chelmsford.

We discussed the option of litter picking but as we already have pristine parks we opted for a little bit more of a fitness session, putting the Gym in goodgym.

It was good to see James back despite his busy schedule and John making an appearance too. Laurie offered to back mark and made sure Cat who was attending for the second time kept the chatting as fast as the running!

So we set off on a run through the park stopping for exercises at regular intervals. We began with some running drills under the viaduct where Claire helped with a high skips demo, before setting off to the "Dips" bench for the first set of exercises.

We took turns in doing dips on the front and press ups on the back of the bench before heading on wards for squats after the narrow bridge. We then gathered in Admirals park where Joel and *Caroline pushed the pace on the acceleration runs!

As we were there we ran a two hill relay with set one up to lamp post 2 and set 2 to lamp post 1, we happened to have 4 Red Goodgym Tee's present so they made up one team and the rest made up the other. I turned out we were pretty evenly split with the relay ending in a draw!

We then opted for a road run back to the hub re grouping at the crossing points and raced through the subway just to make sure the photo's were still blurry. On this run we found an envelope stuffed with cash! (which i have returned this morning!) The speedier runners finished with wall sits until the team returned for the warm down.

A quick stretch and a reminder we are working for our hosts next week so meet at the hub for some floor work and a run to follow. sing up here

see you there!
