Water run! It did us the shower of good

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

It all started so promisingly last night - sunny skies, a beautiful bank holiday evening, a nice warm 5k run ahead of us.

We even had two lovely new runners to welcome to the group - please say a big GG hello to Emily and to Shelly who smashed their first group run last night.

We also said a big well done to Paul who had raced 10k that morning and still made it to the run, such dedication!

Don't forget that the GoodGym Olympics are on the 30th June, but you only have another week to sign up to the events! The sign up page is here -so check it out to be part of Team Wandsworth and to have a cracking day in the process!

We kicked off the night getting hot and sweaty (but for how long?) with a warm up which involved star jumps, high knees, and fast feet, and talked a little about what we had been doing that bank holiday. Eating formed a big part of our long weekend (including a massive three BBQ record!), as did running (whoop), picnicing, making paella and going to a trance festival. Good times.

Our job tonight was to spread the word about the healthy living community day being put on by the amazing Share charity. This organisation works with disabled people who need extra help and support in order to achieve their potential and realise their dreams. Share’s aim is to transform the lives of disabled people so that they live more independently by providing training and employment support. The community day they're putting on this coming Saturday in Tooting is launching their 'Share garden', and they needed us to help local residents learn about the event.

We set off for Clapham Common West Side, and found the streets they had asked us to target. Splitting into two groups we each had a bundle of the 350 leaflets, and got cracking delivering them, pausing for a few squats and star jumps along the way. It was all going so well when suddenly, with a huge crack of thunder, the heavens opened and we were engulfed in a massive rainstorm. Most of us cowered under the trees for shelter, but Jordan and Rob could not resist jumping out into the shower and getting happily drenched. Sadly pouring rain and my iphone did not mix so I didn't manage to capture the moment!

Thankfully it soon passed and feeling a little more 'refreshed' we finished the job and headed to the common to do our fitness session session. We kicked off with a little game which saw Paul and Stephen leading the pack in a run/jog/walk wave around the park, before moving on to working on our ABCs in a series of forward and back lunges, squat jumps, grapevines and even a bear crawl. One last drill which saw us thinking about our cadence and the length of time our feet stay in contact with the floor.

All that was left was to haul ourselves, dripping all the way, back to the BAC. We did a nice long and very damp stretch before enjoying the end of the bank holiday evening in the pub. You are all holiday heroes for giving up your time last night! Special thanks also to the excellent Jordan who let us keep our stuff in the boot of his car as our usual room was closed for the night.

Next week we're off to a new task at a local community centre, when we'll be spending the evening sorting out their outside area. Sign up here for more doing good, fun and fitness.

This run is probably is up there with the snow run in January in terms of most extreme weather running. Amazing

We're pretty sandy with a paint brush

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

Another beautiful night in Wandsworth, another massive task for a fantastic new community organisation, another fast and furious fitness session smashed!

A huge welcome to all the lovely runners who joined us for their first group run last night - give a massive cheer for Pablo, Marina, Lou-Ann, Sarah and Kay!

Well done to super speedy Chris who raced on Sunday in Richmond and getting not only a 10k but a 10mile PB for his efforts. Great work Chris!

Another massive congratulations goes to the lovely Judith who reached her 50th good deed last night - that's a huge amount of doing good for Wandsworth. Judith, we salute you!

A little reminder about the GoodGym Olympics. The sign up for events is now live! The deadline is the 3rd June, and there are a variety of events on offer, including egg and spoon, a pancake race, 100m, 400m and relays. The entry page has full list of the events and descriptions of some of the lessor know races (including the GoodGym relay, this year's theme is no one gets left behind...think human caterpillar race). If you haven't been to the GoodGym Olympics before it is a fantastically fun day of competition between the different GoodGym areas followed by a social. C'mon Team Wandsworth!

What item always appears in your picnic hamper?

After a rundown of the week's news we headed outside to warm up ready for the run to last night's task at the amazing Caius House, a youth centre in the middle of Wandsworth. While high knees, lunges, twists and bum-jiggling fast feet got our heart rates up, we debated what is the best thing to take on a picnic. While there was a strong booze contingent (wine, gin, tequila, Karen's mixers and Chi's Boston cocktail shaker), there were healthy options with plenty of fruit, sandwiches and houmous, plus of course Ella's essential cups.

Our task tonight was at the new Grub Club, an organisation which helps disadvantaged families get access to good food, nutrition advice and facilities. It was a short run down to Wandsworth Town, where we were met by the founder, Aisling, who told us a bit about her amazing initiative. It was a super organised start thanks to some great prep by Aisling and her designers, so we immediately split into three groups to tackle sanding, painting and rollering. With so many hands, we made light work and the room was a blur of action. Thankfully we were also treated to snacks, including frozen strawberries, fruit bars and even popcorn - 'best task ever', said Jordan!

40 minutes later, we downed tools - but don't worry, we'll be back again to do some more for this important place. Waving goodbye to Aisling and her team, it was just a short hop across the road to the park, where we embarked on 15 minutes of HIT training, focusing on getting our hearts pumping, working our arms and core. The idea behind HIT is that benefits of getting to cardio peaks continue after you've finished the exercises, and with an active recovery between each peak, it's a total body workout. After a short jog back to base, we only had that last hill to tackle, and by the looks of the power behind everybody's final sprint, you worked super hard tonight, team. You should feel proud of yourselves!

Next week it's DOUBLE TASK NIGHT, with half the group going back to Caius House to do more jobs there, and half the group running to empty a local church basement. Two runs, two different distances, double the fun! See you then, gang.

ps If you'd like to find out more and potentially volunteer for the amazing organisation The Mini Mermaid Running Club that Amy was telling us about last night, then let me know and I'll put you in touch.
