Look at this! I have been watching the footings being laid - and now THIS! Excellent or what?
I set off this morning to do a Stamina session and tried to tweak the volume but only managed to switch to another track. So, hmmm, lost Stamina for last section and now I am listening to Week 9 and Julie! Oh Joy! Unable to get back to the correct part of Stamina I simply had to go with the flow and ran to Julie. My reward for that was to have a go on the new gym equipment. YAY!
My cool down walk was too tempting and I had to run it. Yes, me - running uphill. Wonders never cease. And the feeling now is very pleasant. Not easy to describe other than an exceedingly good way to be feeling!
HAPPY RUNNING EVERYONE!

Good old Julie - I got an unexpected burst of her yesterday morning when I mistakenly played the contents of my phone instead of my carefully constructed playlist! That equipment looks fun though I confess I wouldn't know what to do with most of it!
It was strangely comforting to listen to Julie again! I too am not sure how to use some of the kit. I found that the cycle pedals were too stiff to turn. People have been standing on the seats with their muddy shoes on so a cushion wouldn't go amiss! Still - I am going to use it to try and tone my bat wing arms (I think you call them that!)
I wouldn't have much of a clue of what to do either. Are there any instructions around? Such a great idea though. And I have to say that while I've never tried Stretch and Flexibility, I can imagine I would feel a bit less self-conscious if I was using this kind of kit.
It has a pictogram of what to do with it on each piece. I started off doing S&F as well as C25K and regret letting it lapse. I felt a bit of a wally using the little ones play frames to do it on! This kit is far better so I intend picking up on S&F from now on! I'm sure it prevented a lot of aches in the early days.
We have some kit very like that in the park I mostly run in; it's very well used and still in good order after several years. I don't use it often but I do use it & it makes a good counterpoint to running.
I love that stuff. I always finish off my run with 12-15 min on the machines. I have been doing that for 10 weeks now 3 times a week and I think I can see the difference. It would be difficult to know what the running is toning and what the machines are doing. But it all goes towards my calorie count so I am happy. Also it gives me a nice time to reflect on the run.
I had a tentative go yesterday after my run and feel it would be useful to tone my upper body. I didn't use the ski machine because my legs had already had a really good workout! Only problem yesterday was that there was a very cold wind and my clothes were wet so I didn't want to get too chilled. I am chuffed to bits though to have them there!
