A Duathlon Thursday at Maida Vale 🏃🚴
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Achilles International UK in Islington.
- Thursday, 3rd of February 2022
- Led by Simon Fitzmaurice
The session started with H talking us through a middle-of-the-night triathlon she was thinking about doing (with an expected finish time between 2 and 3am...) at our Maida Vale meeting point. Clearly this inspired the group, as Chris then managed to tempt two guides into joining him for a spin class in the leisure centre next to the track. Apparently the instructor and music were great - now that we have competition, does that mean us guide runners will have to up the entertainment factor out on the track, too?!
In any case, it was business as usual for the rest of us tonight, with everyone completing 5k or further on the 400m track. 💪
- Tom & Edyta ran a steady 10k with an impressive sprint finish
- Andrew put Andy & I through our paces for 8k, with advice being imparted on everything from running shoes to sleeping schedules
- Ashfaq & Dimitri got in a quick 5k, smashing their previous record from two weeks ago
- And last but not least, Naqi & Harvey moved so quickly they were probably back home by the time we all took the photo!
