Sunday Long Run - Wigmore Loop
We regularly do around 5km distances on GG runs but it's good to go a bit further sometimes and build confidence in longer distance running. We'll start with a gentle 10k and see how we do.
We'll meet in Manor Park for a proper warm up and then head up Crawley Green Road to Wigmore, and a lovely scenic loop around the area before heading back to Manor Road Park and a nice cool-down stretch.
If you're coming from afar there's free parking on Manor Road on Sundays but try and walk/jog/bike/bus there if you can.
Martin is part of a crowd that's making a huge noise. Martin has been cheered by 25 people - that's a round of applause just on their own. We hope they keep it up.

Luton Wardown Parkrun - Jan
Paula, Martin, Sam and David all returned to register their first Parkrun time of the year.
We rounded off our morning with a good deep stretch session, to ensure we all stay in top condition to make it through all the extra efforts this month!
Martin has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

The Trolleys and The Ivy
In the first Group Run of 2021 we welcomed newbie Dani as we formed a team of six to run a 9km loop with a short stop for a litter pick around the pedestrian bridge at Eaton Green roundabout.
There was SO much litter in such a small space, hidden among the ivy and undergrowth below the trees, bag after bag of drink cans, bottles and crisp packets were filled plus the following random items:
3 shopping trolleys 2 traffic cones 2 tyres 1 hub cap 1 inkjet printer 1 set of dumbbells 1 pillow
Back in St George's square, Dani still had a big smile on her face as we did our stretches, task completed!

Wednesday Evening Group Run
Following last week's massive litter pick we're coming back for another go at a different messy spot in the middle of town.
We'll run a loop to add some distance to the evening but there will be a shortcut for anyone who wants to avoid the full distance. Also perfectly walkable if that's more you!
Once the litter is bagged we will head into Manor Road Park for a short while for a quick musical workout before heading back to the starting point.
Luton
Wardown Park Run
Get together with your GoodGym team mates and take on this 5km run at whatever pace you like, whether youre walking or sprinting you won't be going it alone!
If you've never been to a parkrun before you'll need to register on the parkrun website and get your barcode, bring it to the run otherwise your time won't be recorded!
Luton
Eaton Green Litter Blitz
We'll be running off from St George's Square to a spot on Vauxhall Way that has accumulated a lot of litter. Meeting Kevin and Phyl from ABCD Luton at the task we'll quickly get the dropped litter and random dumped items cleared up from the trees around the footbridge before heading back into town again.
