Bridge The Gap
6 GoodGymers made their way 2.0km to help their local community in Newham.

An unexpected fitness session sprung upon unsuspecting runners. The evening rain caused Manor Park to make the call that a watering task wasn't worthwhile, they'll report back with more useful tasks soon, they want a memorable opener. This gave us a window of athletic opportunity - and we seized it.
After a natter in Stratford we made our way to the Olympic Park. With old timer, Mel, joining her chums once more, we were buoyed, a pleasure to have her back. Shame we never saw Eugene, but wedding attire ain't going to buy itself, hope you got something to complement those cracking calves.
A longer progressive warm up completed; training stability, coordination, speed and power. We then began the main session, six bridge sprints off a minute recovery. Focus was on top-end speed - increased muscle fibre recruitment, technique building and delayed calorie burn effect. Some fast and ferocious efforts out there. A small bodyweight circuit to conclude our session in the gorgeous evening light.
Apologies for those expecting something else - however, next week we are actually at a community garden. Sign up here for some local horticultural based joy.
Till then,
B
