Let's get fit to the left, let's do good on the right... Let's do the time trial again!
8 GoodGymers made their way 4.8km to help their local community in Brent.
- Monday, 10th of December 2018
- Led by Pritesh Mistry
Seven brilliant runners met up at the Queensbury and focussed on their fitness!
Sadly, despite the report title there was no good to be done on the right this week but that doesn't stop you amazing people coming out on a cold winter's night.
A huge welcome to Georgie who joined GoodGym for her first ever run.
With no task it was time to roll out the GG Brent 'just over a mile' time trial! Boom. After a quick intro where we talked about the winter badges and our post run Christmas social next week!
We headed over to Queens Park and then worked on our hill running techniques:
- Keep your head held high
- Power through the legs and knees
- Work those arms #pockettosocket
And then thnking about how to run down a hill:
- Smaller stride
- Lean forwards slightly
- Use your arms for balance
With everyone warmed and worked out it was time for the time trial! We got everyone lined up and off they went. Everyone put in a huge effort and we a great range of times between 6 and 9 minutes! #speedy
With that done we discussed the need for Brent (as in me) to up it's pun game for next year and then headed off back to base. Karen left us early but I promised her extra exercises next week to make up for it. On our return we stretched and then headed off home!
Thanks everyone and look forward to see you next week!
Cheers, Pritesh
