Led by Frances Powrie

There was a bumper turnout at GoodGym Westminster this Wednesday, as a group of runners from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel joined us – hope to see you again next week guys! There was also a bumper crop of Frances’, as I filled in for Joel alongside the regular Frances, who led one of two groups to Victoria.

After a jog through central London and past Buckingham Palace, we reached our regular task at One Big Family, where we again split into two groups. One group made sandwiches and packed pastries which the volunteers hand out to homeless people around Victoria, while the other went with Graham and took turns at choosing exercises, ranging from some gentle stretching to burpees. The groups swapped halfway through so that everyone got a chance at doing some good.

With the task completed swiftly, we set off back to base – this time taking in the sights of Green Park, with some of us taking the opportunity to push the pace a little. All in all, a productive evening with the cooler weather making for an enjoyable run!
