5 GoodGymers ran 5k to St Andrews Youth Club and helped maintain the fitness equipment on a very somber evening in Central London.

On a day that will be remembered for the wrong reasons in Westminster 5 runners decided to do some Good!

Running through the eerily quite streets of super central London filled with loads of taxis and very few people we safely navigated the 2.5k route to the St Andrews the Oldest Youth Club in the World.

Meeting Adrian we had a look around the whole building and the task we were due to get stuck into if we were at full power. We will just have to save that one for next time!

Finishing the tour in the basement Gym where we got wiping, scrubbing and tidying quick smart! Making a huge difference to the gym with 25 strong minutes of action!

As a reward I treated the squad to a arm workout!! Hitting up 15 minutes of intense Super setting bicep curls, press ups and tricep extensions! For sure everyone will know all about the arm workout in the morning, great effort getting big work done!!

Leaving the club with big thanks from the staff and even a quick drink we ran back towards base at a nice controlled pace. Gathering at the foot of the Green Park Hill we powered up it at great pace! When the leaders hit the gate 400 metres up the road the flew back down high fives the tail runners and powered back up repeating the big efforts until everyone at reached the summit!

A short trot through Mayfair and a stretch put in the New Balance store rounded off a top session!!

Next week we are returning to Rhythams of Life to sort out rooms of donations to be utilised by the homeless people they help. Be great to have you along!
