Put in my place by pensioner Maureen

Lovely weather in Bury St Edmunds tonight and one of the funniest experiences at Liberte so far was caused by our newest trialist.
Over the last three months or so there have been plenty of new faces as our class has grown. Some turn up just the once, plenty more sign up for good.
Tonight we welcomed Maureen, who approached trainer Gareth, pictured, in the Nowton car park to reveal she would be joining us and was an amazing 72!
I must admit I was sceptical as to how she would get on, particularly as she said she didn’t really enjoy jogging. I don’t either, so I felt for her.
To her credit though, Maureen was a revelation. She did things at her own pace but when it came to the floor exercises she excelled. Sit ups? Kid’s stuff. Crunches? No problem. Burpees? Piece of cake.
Best of all Maureen had some trash talk of her own. I jogged with her towards the end as she was some way back from the main pack of Libertarians.
I told her she kept a good pace as she jogged, referring to the fact that, at the age of 36, I was out of breath and that a gentle job suited us both.
“I think you should just jog, rather than try and jog and talk,” she told me.
Brilliant! Put in my place by a woman twice my age – that kind of thing would only happen at Liberte!
