8 Goodgymers ran to the Coventry Resource Centre for the Blind (CRCB) to meet Chris and Claire and run with them as they take on the challenge of running 250km during January.

Chris, who is blind, and his wife Claire, who is visually impaired, met at CRCB and are taking on the challenge, which is part of a campaign by CRCB and other sight loss charities inviting people to 'Take on 250' to represent the number of people who begin to lose their sight in the UK every day.

After a good warm-up, which was definitely needed during this cold snap, we made our way through the city centre to the CRCB to meet Chris, Claire and guide runner Anne. Our very own Lil took on the role of running with Clare as we made our way back through the city centre, stopping to pose for a few photos at Lady Godiva. There was even time for a quick drink in the pub and a catch-up (lovely to see you again Meera, come see us again soon!) before making our way over the BBC Coventry & Warwickshire studios for Chris and Clare's interview live on air.
