Last night, the weekly Achilles International crew met up at Stratford Underground station (Westfield exit) for a smashing group run in the light! Such a difference compared to our usual night time runs in Winter!
Andrew and Mario the guide dog returned for a easy paced walk and jog after a super impressive performance at the London Marathon on the weekend.
New guide Meliza ran with Mark Colby for a loop of Waterden Park. Luc did some excellent running with Mark D (after running Manchester Marathon two weeks ago- great job!). Dan ran with Mark N and newish guide runner Charlotte for laps around West Ham stadium. And Peter did a stellar job co-guiding Tom D with Rob on his first session in Stratford.
Wonderful running everyone! We will be back at the following location next week!

The GoodGym crew were thrilled to join the Achilles International all abilities sports charity in Battersea Park for their amazing pre-London Marathon meet up in Battersea Park. We had runners visiting from the New York, Melbourne and Belgian chapters arriving for race day, along with our weekly attendees and friends and family. The energy was electric, and we thoroughly enjoyed our newly developed run location (big wide drives, loads of fellow running enthusiasts- we might have some potential new guides!).
Well done to Audrey and Luc for joining us for their first Thursday session.
And good luck to Andy and Andrew on their race on Sunday!

Achilles International held a smashing meet up event at the Runthrough Chase the Sun Battersea Park 5km and 10km races. So pleased to have such a strong Goodgym contingent as well (including first time Goodgymmer Luc and first time race guide Yi- congratulations!). A wonderful evening of all abilities running with excellent people!
