After completing the summer couch to 30-minute programme, we took a week off for some fun runs that included heartbreak hill before launching into the Autumn programme. For some of the group going from 30-minutes back to Week1 Run1 was a surprise. Back to running one minute intervals for seven reps, just demonstrated how far the previous crew have come with their running. Going into this programme was different because we now have running buddies to support our new crew members. The support and hearing what the previous crew achieved is so inspiring and encouraging. In total, for the first run we had 18 in total running, which is a big group especially now we have to stick to the winter routes. We had representatives from Aspen Medical Practice, High Street Medical Practice, the CCG, GHC and friends from members of the group.
The biggest challenge after the first run is always seeing how many return for Run2. Again we had a great turnout and everyone achieved their second milestone with Week1, but looking forward we have more staff returning to the programme. So watch out for an army of runners around Brockworth on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our WhatsApp group is buzzing with support for each other and I am looking forward to seeing how this crew develops through the whole programme.
“Run is a run, no matter what time you do it in, we go out as a group and return as a group”. Well done crew!
