Lunch Ladies

Tuesday 6th March 2018

Written by Alyx Murray-Jackman

Tonight we were spreading the word about about a lunch for the homeless that KCL are organising on Sunday. We just kept on running until we had handed out all our invitations to the local homeless community, with some runners clocking up an impressive 6km.

We celebrated the running successes of everyone from the weekend, with a few GoodGym King’s runners completing the Big Half – congrats Mara (plus others that couldn’t make it tonight!). The news didn’t stop there though, we heard about the Camden group run this evening that you should all sign up to here, the MARCH SOCIAL in Greenwich on Thursday which you can find out about here, the running fitness sessions in Green Park which are going to be on every Thursday in March at 6.45pm – sign up to the next one here AND the GoodGym Shindig, which you can read more about here - so many fantastic things happening with GoodGym at the moment!

The task: We ran around Covent Garden, down the Strand, over the footbridge by Embankment, around Waterloo, back over Waterloo Bridge and to Temple Gardens - so many areas covered in just one evening! While we were running we were on the look out for any homeless people to hand out our invitations to. The invites let them know about a free lunch that is going on at KCL this Sunday, with free haircuts, clothes donations and a game of bingo included - all for the local homeless community. We even managed to sneak in some technique work en route, working on the "pocket to socket" arm drive whilst heading over Waterloo Bridge.

If you're keen to volunteer on Sunday, we've put the mission up on the GoodGym website, so you can help out with the lunch (you don't need to be DBS checked!). Sign up here.

For more GoodGym action, make sure you come along next week!
