Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Barnet runner
Eleven excellent GoodGymmers took to the streets in Barnet to deliver flyers for Stephen's House and Gardens.
Meeting at the Phoenix we were joined by Shannon for her first ever GoodGym run. Nice one Shannon! Go give her a cheer!
After some confusion with the task for the evening - the Barnet Furniture Centre canceled our sanding task, asked us to Flyer for them, then ran out of flyers - Task Force Paul stepped in and picked up some flyers from Stephen's House for us to deliver. They are a wonderful local charity run house and gardens with a full events program to promote! (we are also back there in mid February to help in the garden, check the website for that one)
Dividing into teams with team captains Nicola and Paul, our runners set about delivering the flyers using the tried and trusted relay method. Shannon quickly picked up the rhythm and they were away. We focused on local areas in East finchley then the roads near Stephen's House.
With all the flyers delivered (the rain had set in by this point but that doesn't put us off) the team stopped for a quick stepping drill before the run home.
Last thing before we got back- a quick shuttle run to pick up our pace and use up that last bit of energy. Everyone did great, with Graham was very speedy indeed. Later analysis showed the distance was about 155m at a higher speed (which Graham wanted to make particularly clear), so, well done everyone!
Back at base we celebrated with high fives and this week's biscuit: Ginger Nuts.
See you next time!
