14 FANTASTIC @GGSHEFF runners ran 4km to help a local community Co-op get back to their roots and develop a community club garden.

After a welcome back to Kat & Ash and hearing about their trip to Peru we all took a strong squat circle position for our pre run brief and headcount before setting off to Reagther with SENSATIONAL STEVE as our trusty back marker.

On arrival at Regather DANGEROUS DOUG greeted us with water, tools and a brief for the evenings task which this time around involved:

  • Litter picking

  • Digging up massive roots

  • Hand weeding

  • Berry picking

The team did an amazing job with some real trophy roots being claimed! The garden is really developing and taking shape thanks to all our runners efforts!

Following the task we dealt the Cards of destiny for some *FANTASTIC FITNESS which this week comprised of;

  • Inch Worms

  • Wall Sit

  • Burpees

  • Plank

  • Squats

  • Lunges

With a top effort being put in from all we had a quick drink and polished off the left over berries we had harvested and ran back to the Showroom Cinema with a speedy sprint finish from Sarah who is making great progress in her running!

We stretched off among special guests DELIGHTFUL DAVE fresh off the train from Manchester and HIPPY HARRY who used the #redthunder to identify his location to his friends across the train tracks (he's not shy).

With the Striders Ladybower 10K on Fri, Park Run get together on Sat and Chatsworth 10k on Sun there is plenty of GG action to get involved with this weekend so head to the race section of the website to find out more and sign up!

Don't forget to sign up to next weeks run to Abbeydale Picture House!
