We did a class job at clearing all that glass!

A great group of 32 people joined us for the Birmingham Goodgym Launch, running 6.2k to clear glass and litter from a school sports pitch in Balsall Heath

GoodGym launch was supported by Run Birmingham and GoodGym's national sponsor is BT - so it was very exciting to be able to bring the two together.

On a rather ‘nippy’ night, everyone was keen to get moving, so we set off from the BT offices in Birmingham city centre and made our way to Balsall Heath. Arriving at the task everyone either took a brush, litter picker or shovel and got to work clearing the nearby sports pitch belonging to Nelson Mandela Primary School.

"two time Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock"

As if that was't exciting enough on it's own, we had a two time Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock (thanks for the Selfie!) joining us at the task as part of the GoodGym Brum launch celebrations. We spent 25 minutes clearing the pitch and I reckon we removed atleast 23kg of glass ;-)

"thighs and bums burning"

Once we had finished the task, Jonnie Peacock gave a speech showing appreciation for what were doing, then we did a little fitness session involving some high intensity high knees, running to get the heart rate soaring and then a bit of leg conditioning work, by getting those thighs and bums burning with some lunges.

We then ran back to base finishing with a bit of stretching and that was job done!

Huge thanks to everyone; the feedback from the Balsall Heath Forum was massively postive; though we didn't get every grain of glass of the pitch it's lightened the load for the next effort.

Next week we are going to be helping the Guide association and running from our new base of 1000 Trades in the Jewellery Quarter, at 6pm. Sign up here

Hi Everyone , I had a great time last night and slept like a log when I eventually got back home. Just a quick note we found a house key in the reception of the BT building so if anyone has lost a key just drop me a message and we can arrange a pickup.
