Much fun was had early on a Sunday when GoodGym turned out in force to help at WIndmill Hill junior parkrun, who often struggle for volunteers.

It started out quite warm, the sun even came out, but within 15 minutes an arctic wind blew through and those without gloves were regretting their decision!

An amazing 91 juniors completed the course, the first finisher smashed a new PB of just 8:12 for the 2km course, the course record stands at just 6:55!

I currently lead the GoodGym strava leaderboard for the segment, but as there's a training run there this week, I suspect it won't last...
