There was a little bit of Monday magic in Wandsworth last night as 33 runners took on a huge painting challenge....

  • We welcomed Ava, Annabel, James and Cheryl to their first run - great to meet you guys!

  • Well done to all the racers this weekend, including Hanna and James who did the duathlon in Hampstead - nice one!

  • This Thursday is the GoodGym social at 6:30 at The Court in Tottenham Court Rd. Sign up here for a great night including all the news, heroes, GG hero of the month and international pun of the month!

After a warm up and a poll to find out our favourite sports person - Roger Federer and Serena Williams came out top, followed some way behind by Mr Motivator and both Brownlee brothers - we set off for our task.

Our massive painting job was at Doddington and Rollo community association, and we picked straight up where we left off last time. We had a series of corridors to paint to help out this community organisation which was set up to provide opportunities for education, training and employment for local people, and to provide facilities for community activities.

Dust sheets down, rollers at the ready and we were off. Every week it's always incredible to see what you guys achieve, and it was particularly evident this week. In the time we were there you managed to give the place a proper makeover (who remembers Changing Rooms?) - it's amazing what 33 pairs of hands can do in even a short length of time.

We finished off the session with fitness in the hall, and this week we took on the EMOM (every minute on the minute) challenge. It was six minutes of seriously hard work as we knocked out burpees, press ups and squats, and we still had the run and that hill to contend with - as usual you all rose to the challenge!

Next week we've got an interesting new task helping create an amazing area for a community festival. To find out more and sign up click here. Until then, run happy!
