The new and the old...
16 GoodGymers made their way 6.0km to help their local community in Tower Hamlets.

It was a big night at the Tower Hamlet GoodGym run this week! Not only did we have FIVE new runners in the group, we also had a visit from Ivo… so the old timers were out to impress.
After a short warm up we headed down to Stepney City Farm, a local haunt for the group. Simon quickly dashed any hopes of hanging out with cute animals though as he lead us to three big mounds of compost that we had to move to the other side of the farm.
The group quickly grabbed some spades and wheelbarrows and got stuck in! After 30 minutes of frantic shoveling and running back and forth we managed to get the bulk of the compost moved.
Once we’d finished up at the farm we headed back to base via Mile End Park to fit in a bit of ‘relaxed’ Fartlek training. I’m not sure anyone would agree it was relaxed but we clocked up a few extra kilometers before some stretching and cheery goodbyes.
