The Feeting of the 5000
13 GoodGymers made their way 5.0km on a training session in Bristol.
- Sunday, 14th of June 2020
- Led by Shona Buchanan
This week's fitness challenge was to complete a timed 5km as fast as possible. Well done to everyone who took on the challenge, you are all brilliant! I don't know about you but 5km felt A LOT harder than it usually does when I tried to pick up the pace.
Matt did his 5km as part of the GoodGym 5km Elimination Race and got a snap of alpacas to boot. Mel completed a good deed in the middle of her 5km. Everyone else battled a variety of hot sun, headwind, dodging other people and traffic lights slowing them down.
The semi non-traditional leaderboard is below, including a few maths problems for some people's times! Of course, we aren't about winners here, so well done to everyone who took part!
Matt: 21 minutes 46 seconds
Richard B: 22 minutes 11 seconds
Shona: 22 minutes 49 seconds
Maddie: 23 minutes 37 seconds (while not feeling 100%!)
Sarah: 24 minutes 3 seconds
Lisa: 30 min on the dot!
Matthew: 32 minutes 34 seconds
Julie: 36 minutes 30 seconds
Melanie: 54 minutes 42 seconds
Roz: 5km at 100 miler 'race pace' !
Alex: 5km while getting her ice cream (see picture evidence!)
Tim: 2 minutes for every Tuesday not at a GoodGym group run or community mission...
