Well Autumn has definitely arrived. Golden leaves, fresh evening temperatures, autumnal breezes and darker nights were definitely here. 14 GoodGym Coventry runners headed out to the canal for a litter pick. The paths and banks felt definitely like they were being looked after by the users :) A lot of metal was collected from the bank and bottles and wrappers from the paths and nearby water's edge. There was a lovely team feel tonight and it was great to see such camaraderie and chatter as everyone set to the task. This continued as we they set too on our hill reps by the cathedral. Every runner focused on form and trying to beat their distance and fellow runners on the hill reps. The canal was also being used tonight by some kayaks which was lovely to see. Have a great week all and see you next week. Liz x

Well as the Autumn leaves are falling as well as the raindrops, 15 GoodGym Coventry memebers ran to Spencer Park to help clear up the leaves on the paths and tennis courts. It was great to meet Meg and we were all relieved that the rain had finally stopped for our session. We headed to Spencer Park, which is currently very gold, not only with the Autumn leaves but also decorated to support Childhood Cancer Awareness month. The tennis courts and much of the paths were covered in layers of leaf litter so we set to work clearing the paths and soon the leaves were all safely deposited in the green bins. As it is winter, our 1 mile route was too dark so we completed some timed reps along the lit paths. With some very impressive and competitive efforts, well done all. Soon, it was time to stretch and head back. Looking forward to seeing you all next weel, Liz x

To celebrate GoodGym's 10th anniversary, 16 runners from Coventry set off with our flag on a mission to complete our delivery of 500 bags as well as get some good photos. We definitely completed the task, great photos I can't promise, although Anne-Marie took some :)

It was great to meet Leticia and Brogan and welcome them to GoodGym Coventry. Before the speech, we enjoyed the GoodGym text which managed to eloquently sum up alot of our GoodGym experiences. We got our first photo by Lady Godiva.

Once at the destination for the start of our bag drop, split into teams to achieve the task and in no time, all the bags were delivered. Awesome teamwork. We headed to the Council House for another photo and the location of our speed work reps. It then meant that we had time to complete 5 x 200m reps and really focus on our speed and maintaining that throughout the reps. We could then head around to the Cathedral to get another photo. We then stretched and celebrated in Drapers our first 6 months- what a 6 month it has been. Well done and thanks GGCoventry. Liz x
