4 VI guide runners (including 3 Goodgymmers from all different boroughs) met up for our weekly group run with Achilles International in Green Park on Thursday evening.

We had a smaller crew than usual, as a few of our regular VI runners were about to race the Big South 10km this weekend, or were approaching taper time for other endurance events. Tracey and Simon were on hand to coordinate, navigate and support, while Emily tried guiding for the first time with regular attendee Katy, aiming to run on softer surfaces where possible. She did a smashing job! London Marathon runner Richard was joined by long-time guide runner Adam too, to enjoy a few early evening laps together.

We will be back again next week- 6pm at Green Park Underground Station. See you then!
