This week at our regular Achilles International group run session in Green Park, we were able to celebrate a weekend of successful running exploits at the Bristol 10km (VI edition). London group founder Chris and speedy runner Naqi had an amazing time running with almost 40 other VI competitors on the closed road course.

4 Goodgym runners joined us this time (Simon, Emily, Katy and first timer Harvey- welcome!), to assist Richard, Naqi, Tom and Chris with their running objectives around our 1.2 mile pedestrianised loop of Green Park. Katy and Harvey got stuck in with shadowing Tom for his 10km loop, while Simon helped Naqi with his workout, with Lucy (keen running volunteer) on hand to help.

We lucked out with the weather this evening (Richard and Naqi both commented that they would be hoping for these conditions for their upcoming London Marathon attempts- good luck guys!).

Well done everyone. We will be back again, same time, next week for more VI guiding fun!
