Another glorious Tuesday evening saw us head over to New Greens Wild Garden, where there was plenty to keep everyone busy! Armed with watering cans, we gave as many thirsty plants as we could a well-earned drink. Then it was time to put those GoodGym muscles to work, shifting piles of rubble over to the nettle pit. Who needs a gym when you've got a wheelbarrow? 💪 Meanwhile, Frankie expertly tackled the hedge, leaving everything looking neat and tidy. And just when we thought the evening couldn't get any better... out came the homemade flapjacks! 😋 They were the perfect reward after a fantastic session of teamwork. A huge well done to everyone who came along. The garden is looking better every week, and it's always a pleasure to spend an evening making a difference together. Hopefully those flapjacks become a regular feature! 🍰

The Romans would have been proud of us this evening as we gave Verulamium Park a well-deserved clean-up!

It was a beautiful evening spent diving in and out of bushes in search of litter. Nick Nickmade the most unusual discovery of the night with a discarded pair of pants, while SteveStephen somehow managed to find more dog poops than anyone thought possible!

Despite the interesting finds, there was plenty of laughter, great teamwork and another fantastic effort from everyone. We left Verulamium Park looking the best it's ever looked.

Well done, gang – another brilliant GoodGym mission completed!

🌳 What a fantastic evening at Bernards Heath, with a brilliant turnout from the St Albans crew! A huge welcome to newcomer RamonahRamonah – it was great to have you join us, and we hope it's the first of many GoodGym adventures. We were also delighted to have GoodGym legend Gill Gill with us for the evening. Great to see you! We were met by Dave, Chair of the Friends of Bernards Heath, who led us on a mission to hunt down every last bit of litter across the park. Armed with litter pickers and plenty of enthusiasm, the team covered every inch of the heath, leaving it looking cleaner and greener for everyone to enjoy. But we weren't finished there! We then swapped litter pickers for some serious heavy lifting, carrying some very hefty logs to help build a natural dam. Safe to say there were plenty of muscles being put to good use. Of course, it wouldn't be a GoodGym session without an abs challenge. We started the evening with an abs workout to get the core pumping . If you're feeling it tomorrow... you're not alone! 💪 Thanks to everyone who came along and gave their time and energy to make Bernards Heath an even better place. Same time next week? 🌿🏃

Another brilliant Tuesday evening with the GoodGym St Albans crew!

A huge welcome to our newest runners Frankie, Nick, Tracy, Skylar, Stephen and Gabriel. Great to have you all join the gang – we hope it's the first of many Wednesday adventures!

After a quick warm-up, we headed off through Clarence Park, with a few surprise "rest stops" along the way... although anyone who's met Andy knows that "rest" usually means an impromptu abs workout! 😅

Our destination was St Saviour's Church, where Father Richard was waiting with a task worthy of a strong GoodGym crew. Fresh from the church's beer festival, there was a mountain of beer kegs to sort before we reset all the church chairs. It was a proper team effort, and what would have taken the church volunteers hours was wrapped up in no time. Fantastic work, everyone!

A special shout-out goes to Steve, who still came along to lend a hand despite nursing a bad leg. That's proper GoodGym spirit! 👏🏻

With the task complete, we ran back through the park, squeezing in a cheeky upper-body workout before calling it a night.

Thanks for another fantastic evening of running, fitness and doing good. See you all next week!
