GoodGym x Earth Hour - A rubbish task? What on Earth Hour you on about!

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

Tonight's Group Run was linked in with WWF Earth Day so we decided to do a litter pick around the city of Norwich, which was a good environmental task. Norwich City Council kindly lent us the litter pickers.

Hollie and Jon were on their 1st GoodGym adventure tonight so welcome to the group :-)

Dave T was completing his 10th good deed and Liz & Bobby were completing their 25th good deeds.

Helen was back runner and Bill walk-leader.

The lovely Alice was on her final outing with GoodGym Norwich before she moves to London. You'll be missed but there's plenty of GoodGym's to pick from in London :-)

We caught up on the races from the weekend with members completing the Wymondham 20-miler, London Landmarks 1/2 Marathon and the Resolution 10K.

Although the litter pick was from our base at The Forum, we couldn't not do a little run so we started the evening with a little jog around Norwich in search for some litter we could come back and clear up.

Once we got back to The Forum we got into 4 groups and headed off to different areas of the city with litter pickers, bin bags and gloves. 40 minutes later the groups returned. A thank you to all the photographers tonight as I couldn't really cover 4 areas of the city at once. We couldn't get a photo of all the rubbish collected as someone (me!) forgot to let the council know we were doing the litter pick so all the bin bags were disposed in bins near to the area where each group was but shhhh, don't let the council know haha.

It was then time for everyone's favourite part of the evening... the fitness session ;-) This week it was a little pairs conditioning workout focusing on strengthening the lower body, upper body and core.

On Saturday we have a Community Mission at Catton Park for Earth Day and next Monday's Group Run is at The Norwich Food Bank.

Getting our knickers in a twist

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

We had our 2nd biggest turnout this evening with 37 GoodGymers hitting the streets of Norwich.

Amy C was completing her 25th good deed!

A thank you to Robert for being walk-leader, Catherine for being back runner and Helen E for being the photographer.

We were visiting the Oxfam Charity Shop tonight for a variety of tasks. Emma met us there and explained what they were, which included: cleaning the shop floor, putting new stock out on the shop floor, giving the kitchen a deep clean and taking books down on the conveyor belt into the pulping room. You'd think it would take some organising with a big group of people, but you'd be run as within a couple of minutes they were all split up and cracking on with all of these tasks.

It was quite an entertaining evening... check out the photos! Dave T styling a feminine hat, me with my whopping mushroom and three of the girls fitting into one pair of knickers... a sight I'm still not sure what to make of haha.

After a good 40 minutes of hard work, which equated to an incredible 24 hours of volunteer time we finished up and headed back... but not straight back. Oh no, I'm not that kind! So it was a detour via Grapes Hill, which everyone put a sterling effort into. After that we did a quick sprint session in Chapelfield Gardens before returning to The Forum. The evening was finished up with some cakes Elizabeth brought along ahead of her 21st birthday on Thursday.

Next week we're doing a litter pick in aid of WWF Earth Hour.

Has the leaflet FEEDing increased sales? We'll keep you posted

Norwich Report written by Steven Hitcham

We had a whopping 5 new GoodGymers this week so a massive welcome to Rosie, Emma M, Michaela, Emma W and Rute.

Darren was completing his 50th good deed this evening, well done big man aka our regular pun connoisseur.

Catherine was backrunner and Robert walk leader - thanks for volunteering to do these duties.

This evening we were heading to The Feed on Prince of Wales Road, a short 1km trip but rumours were flying around that there would be Gas Hill later in the evening ;-)

Lucy met us at The Feed and had a box of flyers for us to hand out to local businesses and residents, to help promote their cafe. We group split into 6 groups of 5 then went off in different directions to get as many delivered as they could, which they did a sterling job.

Probably at some point they were all thinking "what exactly was Hitch doing while we were posting flyers? Was he sitting with his feet up having a cuppa? Was he taking stupid selfies in the mirror in his sexy leggings? Hmm". The truth of the matter was That's Norfolk TV were filming us so I did an interview with them discussing how GoodGym is the best thing since sliced bread and that everyone needs to get involved.

Being the kind trainer that I am I also got the group out of running up Gas Hill so that they could be filmed during a fitness session at The Forum. On paper this sounds like a win win situation... until they found out what the fitness session involved.

Could it be make or break for the new runners? It was a risk I was going to take and I did emphasise that I'm giving them abs, to try and take the pain away. So yes this meant one thing, the 4-minute ab-hold tabata workout was upon us. During this 4 minutes of sheer hell (I can't think of a better way to describe it) I granted permission for anyone to curse me as much as they wanted to haha.

It will be interesting to see how that comes out on TV!

Afterwards, a good group of us finished the evening at the pub to wind down.

Next week we're visiting Oxfam.
