Spring clean 🗑🚮✅️🌟✨️

Tuesday 11th March

Written by Miriam

On a cold Spring night 6 GoodGymers set out in Stirchley to do a litter pick!

With no run on the agenda the exercise was to walk the streets and sweep up any litter.

Overall in 30 minutes we collected three bags of rubbish and earned a well deserved drink in the pub afterwards.

Special shout out to Richard for being Miriam for the day and bringing the litter pickers and hoops!!

We did a Stella Job!

Thursday 22nd February 2024

Written by Jonny Carter

Tonight, 5 GoodGymers got to work on some litter picking around the Jewellery Quarter.

We filled a bag full of rubbish, with James finding a stella box, hence the pun!

Once the task was done we headed on a run of around 4k, only a pretty baltic evening, Ramiz certainly warmed up on the run, stripping down to just a t-shirt!

Once done, it was time to get back in the warmth as a few of the group stopped for some post run refreshments :)

Tonight myself, Laura, Morwenna and Ramiz tried out the new local running club. We met a little earlier for a litter pick and collected a bags worth of rubbish in around 15 minutes! Then we did a 5K with the CanEat running group. It was so cool to be join this amazing group and we all pushed ourselves up a very long hill!

Back to the bar afterwards for cups of tea and excellent chats.

Sweatsickle!

Thursday 18th January 2024

Written by Jonny Carter

On a freeeeezing night 4 GoodGymers got to work with a litter pick around the Jewellery Quarter. With the cold weather we cut it a little shorter then usual so that we could get warmed up by running!

We dropped the litter pickers off at 1k Trades and headed on a 2k run down to Millenium Point for some Fartlek training.

With Fartlek being a Swedish term it was quite appropriate with the cold weather.

We did 10 minutes of Fartlek using a mixture of 15, 30, 45 second and 1 minute efforts. The effort everyone put in meant we got sweaty, yet still quite cold, though we didn't quite create a sweatsicle! Though it felt cold enough for one!

Once done, we ran 2k back to base, this time though the weary legs had to go uphill! And that was that, just over 6k in total :)
