On Wednesday evening, a crew of visually impaired runners and guides met up at the Battersea Park Runthrough Chase the Moon 10km and 5km event, running some smashing times and excellent performances. Mark D and Mark N both ran personal bests, and Charles ran a solid 10km time too. The three VI runners also joined the Achilles International crew for another group run session the next evening for a very impressive double!
20 guides, VI runners and supporters met at Arsenal tube station last night, and ran a variety of paces, distances and sessions around the 700m concourse of Emirates Stadium. We were thrilled to welcome new guides: Veronika and Lorna who both shadowed frequent guide running partners and tried guide running for the first time.
Wonderful to catch up with Naqi last night (running with Philippa) after his birthday celebrations, and to be joined by Tim U, back in London for his graduation. Great to see you both!
