Meanwhile in Westminster 13 of the most hardcore GoodGymers headed through the dark dark parks to get to the canal and the surrounding areas. Why? To give them our monthly clean, to rid the path of leaves that both the young and old may find hazardous whilst wondering around in the rain.

Tonight was advertised as a taster session and in true goodgym fashion we had lots of newbies. To my surprise yet again we just had ladies. I'm not complaining but gents you are giving us a bad name, do you not fancy doing Good anymore? lol

Now sadly winter is upon which means we will only have a few more weeks until we have to stop running through Regents Park, instead we will have to run around the perimeter which may or may not add a sneaky K or 2 to our journey.

Anyhow we just about managed it this week, just as the doors were closing we smiled at the Security guard and bolted through the gate.

A quick game of follow the leader leader and indian file we arrived at the canal, a quick blast picking up all that lovely trash that people had dumped as well as leaves that were wet and nicely ground into the concrete, perfect slipping material for runners and cyclists.

15minutes passed and area was spotless, we then headed further up the toe path where the wind had blown all the leaves. Now even though this area was not in the list we felt it our duty to clear it as well as all we could think about was someone slipping and hurting themselves. Another 10minutes and we were off.

3k hard back to base, some stretching, smiles, lots of high fives and definitely some GoodGym Converts for life.

Thanks for coming, see you all next week

Run Report by Dan Fisher

What a run! We started as a 9 strong team of enthusiastic runners with some regulars and two newbies to boot! Who by all means, had a fantastic night and deserve a massive well done!

So let us begin. After being enlightened about how sugars are broken down in our body, Ellie gave us our brief. We had been tasked with running to a church and cleaning up the gardens of St Saviours Church in Pimlico, in particular sweeping and clearing the falling autumn leaves. Our excitement was deep and we couldn't wait to leaf!

As we readied ourselves for the 3 mile run, Yes, 3 miles there! From Regents Street to Pimlico we knew that we had to prepare for what lay ahead.

We weaved and dodged and barged our way through Oxford Street the onto Bond, before we were taken onto the nice back roads by our chief Navigator Charlotte AKA Homing Pigeon.

When we reached Buckingham Palace we had the obligatory GG selfie with her Madge and then swiftly carried on our way to make sure we had optimal cleaning time at the Church.

When we arrived at the church it appeared we had gate crashed an important meeting where there was plenty of cake! After being offered of course.........we wolfed down the tasty treats in respect of it being Wednesday night and The Great British Bake of Course!!!

After successfully filling up with extra Glycogen we had all the energy we needed to carry out the task ahead. 30 minutes whizzed by and before we knew it we had trimmed a hedge and filled 8 bin bags? Bin bags full of leaves! Smiles all round and then we topped up with water and of course more cake before we headed back.

On our way back the group had to split, the speeds cracked on, challenging their pace until the end. The reainder of the group surged with team a spirit, which carried the now 7 strong team back to the start everyone supporting from front to back.

The two newbies finished with huge smiles that quickly became contagious and we were all smiling after our 6.24 mile round trip!

A fantastic run tonight and a great community spirit! Lets carry on the good work!

Go GoodGym Westminster!

Meanwhile in the capital 11 of us head deep into a secret location for our last week with you me bum bum train lifting and shifting things that we just can't talk about. However what we can talk about is You me bum bum train immersive' ness will be coming to a location near you real soon.

After 40mins grafting we heading to a near by square or it may have been an oval shape yard, split into two teams and began the race of our leaves. One team running clockwise the other team running anti clockwise each lap one person dropping out. The aim of the game? FUN and of course to make those legs of ours burn as you know the moment something becomes a competition you all want to win.
