On Thursday evening, 18 Goodgym guides and VI runners met at Arsenal tube station for our weekly group run, before walking to the Emirates Stadium concourse as a team.

This was a particularly special run, as it was also the 11th birthday for Siri, the daughter of Achilles International London chapter founder, Chris. To celebrate, we concluded our runs with a trip to Fire Away Pizza on Holloway Road for delicious deep pans and wonderful Nutella delights.

A fantastic evening out- good times, great running.

See you at Paddington Rec Track next week, folks!

A collection of guides from GoodGym, parkrun and Achilles all joined forces at the Achilles International VI group session at Paddington Rec Track last night.

It was a cold evening but GoodGym guides Rachel, Charlie, Danny, Olivia and Jack were quickly warmed up and put through their paces by Naqi, Ashfaq and Andrew, completing distances of 5-8km!

It was great to see Chris and Maria back out so soon after their Battersea Park 10k the evening before and Joanna running with Maki and her mother Chikako. We then headed back to Maida Vale station and headed home.

A really enjoyable evening as always and look forward to the next one.

Great effort all!

After an unexpected location change this week, Achilles International and Goodgym met up for a group guide running session at Paddington Rec Track in Maida Vale last night. We had a solid turn out for guides and VI runners (including Chris Blackabee and his daughter Siri, Andrew Jones and his son Matthew and his gorgeous guide dog Mario). It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, returning runners and new starters tonight (welcome Julianne!).
