A massive well done to everyone tonight - especially on the hills and for still coming despite the threat of thunderstorms!

Tonight’s task was to litter pick in Brueton Park for LoveSolihull Great Britsh Spring Clean, becoming #litterheroes

Once we had filled 3 big bags with litter, Emma took us on a mini trail run to the starting point for tonight’s hill session! We did 6 minutes of continuous running hard up the hill, turning around at the top and recovering back down.

A big well done to Emma, Jessica, Tasha and Rachel for doing their first ever hill session - you all showed great effort pushing yourselves all the way!

After this, it was time for a slightly longer run back to base to build up our running distance and a quick stretch to finish.

See you all next week to carry on the great job painting the Age UK charity shop and you never know, there may be some more cameras around!

We did it - Goodgym’s 50th group is officially launched!

31 runners ran 5km to Newlands Bishop Farm as part of the GoodGym Solihull launch. At the farm we met Dan, who showed us around and gave us an insight into the work they do, providing jobs for adults with learning difficulties and enabling them to gain new skills. We’ll be back in the summer months to help them out with digging, painting, gardening and much more!

Runners also took part in two mini fitness sessions, with high intensity training, reps and group activities. Everyone gave it their all and completed the session still smiling.

We then ran back to our start location, the Royal British Legion Club, where we cooled down with some stretches.

Thank you so much for attending and giving it your all, with the run, the fitness sessions and meeting new people. It was great to chat to lots of you and get the GoodGym ball rolling in Solihull!

It would be great to see you next week in Tudor Grange Park for our litter pick as part of the Great British Spring Clean.
