It was raining PB's at the Bristol Half for Team Bristol GoodGym. A deluge of Dowsett's descended on Bristol to join the ranks of Bristol GoodGym to run the Bristol Half marathon. Many targets had been set and many targets were achieved:

  • Alice was looking to run sub-two hours and achieved it!

  • Dave was looking to run sub-two (again) and smashed it!

  • Will realised that doing some training helps, and achieved a PB!

  • Mel wanted a PB, and triumphed!

And the rest of the team were awesome too! It is really great to see all the hard work that has been put in is paying off and we are achieving our goals. Plus kudos to Gary, Chloe for some amazing cheering of every runner as they climbed the Castle Park hill

Alice and Dave will now hopefully recover enough to join the GoodGym Race team in Cardiff next weekend, while we all bask in the collective greatness.

If anyone is inspired to race: we have our parkrun series, the halloween special and our christmas cracker on Weston beach, so something for everyone. If you want more details just ask at the next group run.
