A new meeting venue for this week's Hackney run, and despite a few good-gymers not quite getting that memo, we managed to locate everyone in time at our new base of E5 Bakehouse. We had 13 with 2 newbies, and we separated into two groups for our tasks for the evening.

One group headed by Kevin ran to The Dalston Curve Garden, to return to the 15 tonnes of compost we'd started moving last week. The Curve Garden is a social enterprise, available for use by the local community, We debated different compost moving strategies but generally found most strategies fruitless, and just giving it a our best shot was the best it got! The job isn't finished, so no doubt we'll be back soon to try and complete the task!

The second group stayed at E5 Bakehouse, and attended to their compost pile. Who knew that Hackney had so much compost that needs moving?!

The Curve Garden group returned back to London Fields and did some sprint training between trees. To finish up we made sure our legs would feel it in the morning with some jump squats, lunges and more running.

Turns out the lovely folk at E5 left out some bread for us to take home, which was a lovely treat; thanks guys!
