On a freeeeezing night 4 GoodGymers got to work with a litter pick around the Jewellery Quarter. With the cold weather we cut it a little shorter then usual so that we could get warmed up by running!

We dropped the litter pickers off at 1k Trades and headed on a 2k run down to Millenium Point for some Fartlek training.

With Fartlek being a Swedish term it was quite appropriate with the cold weather.

We did 10 minutes of Fartlek using a mixture of 15, 30, 45 second and 1 minute efforts. The effort everyone put in meant we got sweaty, yet still quite cold, though we didn't quite create a sweatsicle! Though it felt cold enough for one!

Once done, we ran 2k back to base, this time though the weary legs had to go uphill! And that was that, just over 6k in total :)
