Bin There, Dunk That

Seven Superstars met for a lovely evening's run, a good deed for the wonderful Ignition Brewery and we even squeezed in some circuits!

BREW GOOD, GET FIT

---

First up, we met at The Bridge House, named our favourite cheese (I think we covered every single type?!) and then had a warm up in the park, thoroughly wearing ourselves out before our run...

It was a 2km jog to Ignition Brewery - they're a non-profit brewery providing training and employment for people with learning disabilities - and the car park out the back is where they host a monthly market (selling goods from some other fab social enterprises too!). It was a bit of a mess, with pallets, wardrobe panels and overgrown plants that needed to be binned.

We met Richard (who incidentally went on one of the first ever GoodGym runs in Tower Hamlets! 🤯) who showed us our tasks:

🪓 Stephen and Alex got to work destroying some pallets pronto, employing some sawing and brute force.

🔨 Carla and David were dealing mostly with some wardrobe sides and doors - thankfully they broke into bits very easily (or maybe Carla and David were just in the right mood 😡)

🌱 And Alison and Clare were handling the greenery, snipping off branches from some overgrown plants.

🗑 All the waste got binned (one of the bins was only opened occasionally due to the indescribable smell...) and Richard even gave us some beer for our troubles! 🍻

SMASHED IT! (literally.)

We went back via Alexandra Rec, partly to view some of our tree planting exploits, but mostly for a ferocious circuits session.

We had a little carousel of burpees, bicycle crunches, squat jumps and russian twists which the team navigated with aplomb 👏 and then we headed back.

Nice one gang!
