Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
25 runners completed a 3k run to do loads of good at Windmill Hill City Farm
A mercifully cooler night than last Tuesday's run as we all gathered at Vivo for tonight's task. With Pru away on a well earned holiday in sunny (?) Scotland - and, no doubt, dreaming up fab and devious new ways of improving our fitness - we were joined tonight by the wonderful Lydia, trainer for GoodGym Bournemouth, to lead the session and put us through our paces.
Also, a big welcome to Danielle and Lydia S, who were joining us for the first (of many we hope!)times and to Esther, who has returned to the GoodGym fold after a couple of years away - we all hope you really enjoyed the experience!
With time being of the essence, after Lydia's group intro, Dave led us straight off to the farm with Chris L kindly backmarking, where we were met by our host, the lovely Lizzie, to explained tonight's task.
Splitting us into two groups:
WIth a little bit of time on our hands, Chris B led us on a slightly longer route back via Victoria Park, with an optional hill climb for those who wanted it (the majority did - you awesome people!) and then back to Queen Square for a well earned cool down - or so we thought!!
We still had time for a little more exercise, so Lydia introduced us to the "PLANK OFF"- to see who would be the last man (or woman) standing (or, er, planking). Just over three minutes in and many had bitten the dust and we were down to three girls and three boys - it was suddenly a battle of the sexes! Approaching six minutes (yes, SIX!!) we were down to two, Caroline T and Andrew, who had both made the thing look ridiculously easy (and we all know that it isn't!). Finally, Andrew gave way (literally) leaving Caroline to claim the title for the girls and leave the rest of us awestruck.
After cooling down with stretches, there were a few announcements:
