15 awesome goodgym athletes went litter picking on the parkrun route.
Yet another hot evening in Chelmsford saw 15 of us, including first timers Catherin, Rachel, and Mark, set off on a task with a difference. As we are heading to Parkrun Chelmsford this week to celebrate our historic partnership sign up here we decided to make sure Chelmsford looked at it's best for the occasion.
After a brief introduction we set off to the start finish area for our warm ups. some running drills and sprints got us all going and ready for the task. We then split the route into sections and in small groups spread across the park to clear the park. After 10 minutes we regrouped for some exercises and a short relay, before setting off to the next section.
Some great arm exercises got us ready for the second relay on the "short ascent" in Admirals park. We put those arms to good use driving them up the hill and the relay did get a little competitive!
More litter picking around admirals park and we set off back to base with a fun sprint through the arches to practice our sprint finish for Saturday.
A quick stretch and a reminder that members can cheer and support each other on the website, and we were done for another group run.
Don't forget if you haven't done a Parkrun before you need to sign up on https://www.parkrun.org.uk/register so you can get your barcode and bring this with you. You can run without it but you won't be recorded. those not up for a run at 9am on a saturday there are plenty of volunteer activities you can do, or just join us for breakfast around 10.
We will be heading back to the ideas hub after parkrun to have some breakfast and chat all things Goodgym! see you next week!

15 runners make an Olympic effort at the Interact garden
It was great to run back to the interact garden and see how it was progressing since our last visit. Our task this week was to fill a skip and weed the garden closest to the cottage ahead of the 25th anniversary garden party. Susie was on hand to tell us all about the good things interact do and how valuable the work we have done has been.
The skip filling was made more difficult as the skip had been placed at the wrong entrance, further from the garden waste to be cleared!
Obviously the Brilliant Goodgymers made short work of the extra distance and moved metal frames, logs and bags of weeds in no time! We moved so much we could have filled two skips! We moved a few more Kerb stones and weeded the grass borders just for good measure, then set off back for a mini Olympics!
After a race back with the speedy team adding in a loop before chasing the rest of us back, we met in the park for a few events the have appeared in the Olympics but are no longer contested. After a sports specific warm up we went for the *standing longjump *standing triple jump *and 60m sprints!
After some competitive performances all round we headed back for a stretch. We maybe a little late for Rio but things are looking promising for Tokyo 2020!
Don't forget to sign up for next week here Where we will be feeling even more Olympic!

15 runners ran 5 k to do good in Springfield park baptist church and Preschool
15 runners gathered inside the ideas hub as rain threatened to put a dampener on proceedings, but as arranged by Goodgym Trainer Ken the rain stopped just in time for the warm up in the park.
We began with some running drills to work on our form then set of for a pleasant run along the riverside path to springfield park Baptist church. A great mix of regulars and new Goodgymers quickly set to work on a heavily overgrown garden and driveway. A multitude of weeds were removed, trees chopped and plants pulled, we filled bags, a composter and a wheely bin, but still had plenty of weeds left over so we made a large heap for easy removal later. so pleased to have a massive impact on the garden which could be a huge asset to the preschool. On the way back Gerry led Claire and Ivo on an extra loop round the foot bridges before we met back in the park for a relay to finish. Everyone stormed round the loop and cheered their teams on as Ken and Ken brought the teams home, there was even a Hammet race off which remained friendly!
Back to base for a stretch and a few words from Ivo completed another fun and rewarding session!
Next weeks task is to be confirmed, but sign up anyway, as it is certain to be fun!

Just a rather belated 'thank you' to GoodGym for the work you did for us at Springfield Park Baptist Church, Chelmsford on 27th. July. I think maybe there was a bit of divine assistance, as the rain held off in time for the work to be done. A great job, and many thanks again! John Lancaster.
