12 Goodgymers ran 5km to deliver 250 leaflets for St Lukes Church

Thanks for coming along guys, it was great to cover for Hackney once again.

In the news this week:

  1. Well done to Joel who smashed a 2.39 Marathon last Sunday in Abingdon! Amazing!
  2. Come along to the GoodGym Christmas Party on 1st December - dress up as something beginning with the first letter from your area - aka Harry Potter for Hackney.

After warming up and introducing ourselves we ran the long way to St Lukes Church, through Well Street Common and up through Homerton.

Upon our arrival on of the volunteers welcomed us, she showed us the refurbishment in the church and told us about the work they do, including; supporting the homeless and a foodbank.

St Lukes is having a lights festival on Thursday and it needs promoting - our job was to deliver 250+ leaflets in the surrounding area. We unfortunately weren't able to have the fob to let us into the flats so we ran around the streets targeting houses, first level flats and shops alike. We debated at one stage how it's weird to have holes in the front of your house...

Over 30 minutes we delivered all the leaflets and smashed the task - well done! Once we'd returned to London Fields we did an interval session - x90 seconds, progressing after 60 seconds from a steady to a faster pace.

Sign up here for next week when Joel is back.
