On a beautiful Bank Holiday Monday, 11 amazing runners forewent the festivities and insteady spent their evening leafleting for a local hospice.

After the loveliest of Easter weekends I expected that most people would want to keep chilling out in the warm air all the way through until Tuesday. But I was surprised to greet a group of eager runners, ready to make the most of their Bank Holiday Monday with a run in the sun.

Our task was to deliver fundraising leaflets for the amazing Woodlands Hospice - a fantastic and essential facility based by Aintree Hospital. Our target delivery area also happened to be in the area where we are based, Liverpool's beautiful Georgian Quarter. So our initial run was just 0.6km before we began a series of semi-competitive leafleting races on either side of the street.

Team Christine took an impressive early lead, but this week's shout out and kudos go to Eimear and her team who were the come-back kids, winning the competition 3 - 2.

We distributed 300 leaflets in record timing. Meaning there was loads of time for a fitness session. And I had just the thing in mind!

We wandered down to Cathedral gardens, a lovely cool spot in the shadows of Liverpool's enormous Anglican cathedral, and the perfect spot for some hills drills. On the warmest evening of the year so far, the team worked super hard with an impressive display of hill sprints followed by a little core work.

Really fantastic work tonight team - AND on a Bank Holiday to boot. You'll all heroes to me :)

Next week we'll be back at the wonderful Bombed Out Church and I'd love to see you there.

On a strangely mild February evening, our excellent 11 ran just over 4km to help out a community sports centre.

It was always going to be a gamble to organise outdoor tasks in February, but this unseasonably mild weather has certainly worked in GG Lpool's advantage. While we still needed headtorches, the hardier folk amongst us even worked with bare arms. In Liverpool. In February!

After a 2km run, whose democratically chosen route included a short sharp hill, we arrived at Jubilee Sports Bank - a community leisure centre based in an underpriviledged area of the city. We picked up our tools and headed to the centre's overgrown flowerbeds. It was tough work, but the team fought hard against weeds and dead plants, turning over the grassy soil with the hope that the centre can put the fresh bed to use as part of a new community growing project.

A big shout out to newbies Alice and Lilian - well done for getting stuck in at the task and during the fitness session too - we hope to see you again soon.

After the task, we did a quick fitness session running fartleks, which proved a) this lot have a real kick when they push their pace and b) GoodGym Liverpool enjoys toilet humour (farts, farts, farts).

The run home was all downhill and we hit an impressive pace - a huge well done to everyone. We'll return to Jubilee next week to finish the job we started. Are you coming? Lemme know here.
