19 people ran 8k to help some of the group prepare for the Mo Run later this month

Tonight, the plan was to run to the Birmingham Sea Cadets, but unfortunately, we had a last-minute cancellation (hence tonight’s pun kindly provided by Garry)! However not all was lost as the group were very happy to do a longer run as many are running in the 10k Mo run in 11 day’s time, so what great way to prepare. Front and back markers sorted we headed into the damp and rather cold evening keen to get moving.

Squat till you drop

We ran about 2.5k along the canal before stopping at some concrete blocks. This was a great place to do some backside burning Bulgarian split squats, followed by some standard squats and if that wasn’t enough into some held squats. The group definitely were ‘feeling the burn’!

Fartlek

The group then headed for Millennium Point which was a great place to do some Fartlek training. Well lit, and a nice 400 metre circuit, with no traffic to worry about! The session was 10 minutes with a mix of 20, 40 and 60 second efforts. The group were absolutely fantastic! Aaron led the way, with Ken not far behind. Lola and Julien put in some great work. Sam and Andrew dug deep as usual, Hannah and Brett put in some top work in their first GG run since the Brum Half Marathon and Annie showed a great arm action (Mo Farah esk!)

Once done we headed back through the town to 1000 Trades. 8k completed in total, great work everyone!

Next week we will be out doing good (definitely this time)! It would be great if you could join us sign up here.
